In current environment, more lessons to learn
I think there are more lessons:“The story, I quickly discovered, was a Web-based journalist's dream.” What does this mean?

Really?
''...so there's no danger of journalism-that-is-good-for-you being driven off viewers' desktops.'' What?! How on earth can you come to that conclusion after managing to fill nine previous paragraphs with examples of cable editors finding the most meaningless, titillating drivel on earth?

The "Idea of the Web"
There is no one single ''idea of the Web.'' Applying such a concept to JournoList is absurd. ListServs existed long before the World Wide Web and many required approval before your subscription was activated.

Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..
... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty.
