Newspaper of Record - When

Newspaper of Record - When journalists criticize the Blogosphere, they decry the online pundits and journalists' lack of editors and the absence of commitment to journalistic ethics.

And then came Jayson Blair.

The Times has spent the last week apologizing, retracting and correctinghis long trail of journalistic frauds and deceptions - the sort of things that editors are supposed to catch, but shouldn't have to at the Times...

When you're a blogger and you fabricate a story, there are a million other bloggers, including potentially dozens that might have enough interest in the issue to set you (or the public) straight. That's beside the fact that there is no "blog of record".

Who corrects the Times?

I mean, before it hits the fan?
