Thanks for the comments and kind words. I’m finding the whole conversation about journalism and blogging fascinating. It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Awesome post as always Sharlyn…

To your point, I look to the journalists for news — when I read a blog, it is usually because I enjoy and find value in the insights provided on topics I am interested in.

P.S. The fact that you like bacon is just another testament to your fine character and obvious good taste. If you know anyone who really likes sending free bacon – by all means feel free to give them my name

Bon Appetit…

On the one hand, I worry that we try to legislate too much and describe every possible banned or encouraged behavior. I know that’s not possible for a boss. I don’t think the legislatures and regulatory agencies have smarter people than most companies, so I’m sure they can’t do it either.

But then there’s the “reviewer” on Amazon who has never (at least in the 200+) reviews I looked at) rated a book less than five stars. Is he being paid? Or does he only reviews books he thinks are excellent? Either is possible.

Sharlyn,

Delicious post. I look forward to enjoying such conflicts of interest, but, as yet, nobody has decided to send me bacon. I love to read your blog precisely because you do help me interpret information and for that I am grateful. Not grateful enough to send you bacon…but grateful.
