Brendan Farrington of the The Associated Press and syndicated columnist E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post have a candid discussion of Florida politics.
Speaker: Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne.
E. J. Dionne speaks about secrecy, the goals of journalism, and how new forms of media like blogs can co-exist with traditional media. Dionne suggests that traditional media and new media “can complement each other, and in fact have already begun to do so.” The popularity of blogs stems from the way they answer a need felt by the public for partisan opinions and “genuine argument.” What is needed is the right balance between the objective search for the facts and passionate public argument.
