He was regarded by most as the best-read man on campus.

And as far as Ray Ozzie’s assertion goes, it would appear that it was a joke. It was written, I understand, in response to someone who said Notes was dead.

So forget everything I said about Ray Ozzie beying wrong. 🙂

“Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.”

Weblogs in themselves aren’t a threat, its the reasons why people even consider preferring weblogs over traditional media that is a threat.

Weblogs don’t threat traditional reporting, they threat editorializing and the opinion-based writing in papers that is passed as reporting. The threat to a particular publication will be based on the percentage of that publication that is based on fact vs. opinion. If it is all opinion, it probably is gone.
