Romain Libeau in Le Monde

Very pretentious title (which is the fact bogossitude effect)

Several weeks ago I met a journalist of the World: Yves Eudes. He contacted me after my draft code of conduct of bloggers. So we exchanged a lot of things around the blogosphere, the final 2 happy hours spent together.

Following this meeting, a record is published in Le Monde on Monday, November 10: Occupation Blogger.

Romain Libeau dans Le Monde

This article has generated, as whenever we talk of bloggers outside of blogs, a lively debate. I absolutely do not regret what I said, everything is assumed (and no exaggeration). I found that the axis has chosen can really rewarding for blogs, it exudes a kind of contempt for blogs as stressed Eric. Added to this the fact that he has finally chosen the least important / relevant to what I could tell him and he talked about the private domain.

For those cited in this article: Anh / Delphine / Steve I think the article does not reflect at all their personalities. Yet what one asks a journalist?

Finally, my parents are just glad my name is quoted in Le Monde. For my part I regret that journalists still see bloggers as rivals ...

PS: yes I declare my income taxes xD

  • Finally it makes you still pass for a sort of pique assiette blog, opportunist who eats all the racks to make sorrel, one can not say that this is not flattering.

  • Completely yes, but people who know me know what it is ;-)

    When I say that his article does not reflect the person quoted is valid for me :-) . And then you know how the journalists, they love the phrases out of context ...

    "People who know me"

    And yet, can exist only through those who know us? And then there are those who really know us, those who know us a little (and not a can). The blogger, by exposing himself, chooses to exist from people who do not know. And in fact, exposed to their judgments.

    The trial of those who do not know, those who receive. Some outside observers? Their opinion is it to remove the back of the sleeve when it seems biased, unflattering?

  • @ MALASSE: I agree to be tried but I do that may interest those judgments ;-) . That's why this article in Le Monde makes me neither cold nor choid.

  • Sacred Roman, they failed me serious, your title touts. For some time, you were too cute, too nice. There, you see, it's already over now ^ ^

    For Le Monde, frankly, this is a long time since I do not read this kind of cloth. To me, these journalists dishonor their jobs and tend eventually the stick to get beaten. This article, rather recruiter is there to condemn bloggers, who needed once more for economic scavengers. To summarize and history to be completely transparent, so it's definitely crap.

    What surprises me a little already, is that bloggers do still have. For several months that their journalists have declared war but that does not serve them a lesson. They go headlong into a wall, and everything to see their name appear on a traditional medium.

    Finally keep hope he has to stay somewhere real journalists can be objective. Anyway, I hope with all my heart.

    "For several months that their journalists have declared war but that does not serve them a lesson."

    ...

    Self-criticism seems largely to spare you, and it is a pity. Pretending that they are more journalists than bloggers who have said any war (although that part of the journalists are themselves a blog) is sorely lacking self-criticism.

    The phenomenon of blogging has become de facto as an alternative source of information, so de facto "as opposed to traditional media." This opposition is one of the pillars of the same Bloging.

    It's not very honest to tap journalists accusing them to marginalize the blogosphere while the blogosphere boasts more than regular "not be as traditional media." In my opinion, is far more bloggers who are marginalized, besides the sense of community that emerges from the blogosphere does not belie my words.

    I am far from being an "anti-blog, but it should be balanced and remain critical of the work we can perform, that it be professionally or pure leisure.

  • Interesting answer here ...

    The excesses of the blogosphere, I do not shut up. Just as the excesses of journalists. When a blogger goes too far, I do not hesitate to say so and I think Roman will readily attest.

    What bothers me with this article published in Le Monde, is that the blogosphere is not considered objectively. The three profiles presented an enormous lack of depth. There is no moment when one speaks of passion and discipline imposed by keeping a blog. We prefer to present the blogger as a person who travels, who earns money on the backs of others and almost tend to boast.

    Throughout this article, it is well that the idea of the profitability of monetization, which takes precedence. Nothing else. In my opinion, the blogosphere is a bit more than that anyway.

    The blogosphere has nothing to do with traditional media, it's true. We are not bound by the same rules, we are free to speak what we please without fear of censorship. What bloggers are outsiders, it is perfectly possible but they are demonized in this way, it is unbearable.

    Stay balanced and critical of the work that we shall, I agree completely. But if this applies to bloggers, it also applies to journalists. And this article is anything but objective. At best, it is incomplete, and more.

    Fred is right about rigorously. It's the difference between the blog Anh and that of Steve. One focuses on content while the other runs after scoops, his blog is a summary only ads embedded in a vaguely decorative text. NWE is ultimately nothing more than a Scoopeo manual. What is its longevity?

  • 10 fouls in your ticket ... it is clear that this is not journalism as we see it ... for good behavior, it reminds me of the skit with coluche the crocodile who decides to go to a leather goods.

    Apart from that, bravo.

  • There is an element that is beyond me why many bloggers do they hate journalists? When the press gave them a nice publicity stunt smooth, then it's really nice too. But from a point a little painful controversy is raised (the money and blogging in this case) is the signal for battle against the big bad journalists who are all really rotten ...
