The Economist is staging one of
its house debates this week to accompany
a special report on the news industry. In it, NYU professor Jay Rosen and University of California at Berkeley professor Nicholas Carr --- both avid bloggers and authors --- debate whether the Internet has made journalism better. Rosen says so, Carr says not so.
Their statements, rebuttals and debate will be featured all week. Rosen's opening is that he feels the cost of entry has declined, so more can participate; Carr's is that the Internet has thinned the ranks of the professional class. They've already amassed some substantial public comments.
