Putting Blogging First “On the other hand,” writes Ann Althouse, thinking about the big gathering of law bloggers she’s just taken part in at Harvard, “I feel that I have little in common with the other lawprof bloggers. Walking around Boston yesterday … I was wondering if I was not entirely at cross-purposes with everyone else.“ At times, I exhorted them to blog like me, but I also always knew that they don't want to blog like me. Why should they? So much of their discussion was about how to get credit for blogging within their institutions and how to promote their professional standing through blogging, that is, how to exploit blogging in service of traditional law professor interests. They remind me of the journalists who mean to harness blogging to preserve and further the interests of mainstream media. |
