A journalist writes for four people: His editor, his fellow journalists, his mother and the reader. In that order.
The modern news consumer is so far removed from the age of journalism where it was the conscience of society - that it needs stating that the order should be in the reverse.
The internet offers the chance for practitioners of the ancient art of this journalism to, well, practice the art.
What it does not offer is the imprimatur of a masthead and a pulpit that commands the attention of nation.
And no editorial checks and balances either. So?
