And here’s your link-dump from my reader from Wednesday’s reading:

- The [BBC’s Paul Mason talks about journalism, bloggers](http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/2009/01/05/bbcs-paul-mason-newsrooms-offer-journalists-peer-review-that-pyjama-bloggers-cant-replicate/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) and the relationship with managers. Remember to go through the comments, because he clarifies his position at the end.
- *The Guardian*'s Kevin Anderson argues that [open web systems and the flexibility they bring to publishing are a boon to journalists](https://web.archive.org/web/20130412092018/http://strange.corante.com/2009/01/06/ok-open-systems-beat-great-closed-systems-every-time), not a threat.
- And here’s a [journalist triggering a great discussion of what his job should look like](http://bydanielvictor.com/2009/01/06/how-i-want-to-redefine-my-role-and-the-readers-role-in-the-newspaper/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), bearing these new tools in mind.
- Will the journalists that [publishers lay off in this recession](https://web.archive.org/web/20090217163956/http://www.paidcontent.co.uk/entry/419-more-laid-off-journos-becoming-entrepreneurs-new-model-for-local-news/) become their new competitors?
- [RIP printed Exchange & Mart](http://privatefraser.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/sold-down-river/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). That’s the death knell of printed classified you can hear tolling.
- So, is it time for us to reach t[he fifth stage of grief](http://recoveringjournalist.typepad.com/recovering%5Fjournalist/2009/01/stage-five-acceptance.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) as we mourn the loss of our old way of working? (That’s acceptance, by the way…)

And now, I go off to go swimming in the snow. Which is actually more fun than social media, but only just… 🙂
