The Internet she's talking about is an illusion held by people who still work for what's left of a massive investment project that's failing to prove out. The Internet that existed before that project showed up persists uncorrupted. P2P. Journalism as Usual will fail along with the advertising projects its publishers continue to fund under the illusion that it'll float in a world comprised entirely of sources and fact-checkers. It's often hard to tell the difference between stories that are about conflict for its own sake and stories that simply include a degree of conflict. Because without conflict of some sort you don't have a story.
Conflict is naturally what journalists like to find and cover.
But too often that's where it ends. Or worse, that's why it gets invented. That's what Stephen Shankland did that yesterday in his CNET story about Maxtor dropping open source in favor of Windows. And that's what DuBois and Holland did in their P2P piece in eWeek and ZDnet. The purpose of both stories is not to report but to conjure.
