Two Bros Bro Down on “Is the Web Making Journalism, Like, Bad?”

So this is happening: “To accompany The Economist’s special report on the news industry, Jay Rosen and Nicholas Carr are debating whether the Internet is making journalism better.” Mmmmkay….

Jay: LIKE, YES. IT IS, SO MUCH BETTER.

Nicholas: Do you say so, chappie?

Jay: UH HUH.

Nicholas: I will debate with you! The webs are making journalism far worse than it is.

Jay: HOWEVER COULD THAT BE, THE HEARST CHICAGO-AMERICAN, YELLOW JOURNALISM, CORPORATE OVERLORDS, YADDA YADDA. GOOGLE PLUS, BRIAN STELTER, NYU STUDENTS, PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS.

Nicholas: I WENT TO HARVARD AND I MAKE WELL INTO THE SIX FIGURES.

Jay: SOMETHING SOMETHING AJ LIEBLING.

They ramble on about their professional feelings for a while as a bunch of women continue actually working.
