We can all learn a lot from each other. But if Conlin's (and Marcus Hayes') comments are any indication, I doubt they feel there's anything they can learn from bloggers. I find that attitude amazingly arrogant and naive. I AM A JOURNALIST. I write professionally for the paper of record in Tucson, AZ. And before that I wrote for a weekly in Atlanta. And before that I worked for ESPN and The Day in New London, Conn. And the journalists that most inspire me aren't the old guard columnists, they're the bloggers. The future of journalism is online. And the bloggers are the pioneers of online writing. Any print journalist who isn't looking to Deadspin, Fire Joe Morgan, Baseball Musings, etc. for inspiration is a fool. Bill B., I agree.

Conlin was excessively immature, and if it's not a microcosm of American media in general, it's an indicator of where newspapers are heading: in the wrong direction. I told Conlin that just because he's been an established journalist for many years that he isn't done learning. He can learn from us bloggers just as we can learn from him.
