Comments on: The next Romenesko http://www.buzzmachine.com/2006/06/06/the-next-romenesko/ by Jeff Jarvis Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:21:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: John Ettorre http://www.buzzmachine.com/2006/06/06/the-next-romenesko/#comment-66075 John Ettorre Wed, 07 Jun 2006 21:27:08 +0000 http://www.buzzmachine.com/index.php/2006/06/06/the-next-romenesko/#comment-66075 Your take on Romanesko is nothing short of bizarre. He has become one of the leading repositories, if not the leading repository, of conscience about the profession, though apparently without a large ego. He understands both the real underpinnings of the business and where it should be heading in ways that you can never begin to, Jeff. And it figures that you're dismissive of E&P, which also has a deep sense of right and wrong and of the historic and enduring role of an aggressive press in a democracy. All you have is a bottomless sympathy for the future, however dystopic it may be if left to its own devices and to the disembodied meanderings of technology. More responsible people choose to steer that future in directions more helpful to people and to our shared future. Your take on Romanesko is nothing short of bizarre.

As you read more of him, I'm sure you'll find much to disagree with (and nothing wrong with that).
