Another good column by Mark Glaser, this time looking at the way journalists use web searches and email interviews.
It's an issue that's fundamental to the changes in journalistic practice that are inevitably happening because of the confluence within the industry of new technology and business decisions which mean writers and editors with less time.
Having said that, the folks Glaser speaks to for the piece seem to come down - as I do - on the side that while the technology certainly makes lazy story construction more possible; the advantages of having access to the sort of source information the web can provide more than outweigh the potential risks.
