In my August 25 post I made a mistake...
The blogger I cited was not Jeff Jarvis, of www.buzzmachine.com (http://www.buzzmachine.com), but Jay Rosen, of New York University. Since I linked to the correct post (http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/2005/08/19/ab_rlfwd.html), many readers may well have caught the error and therefore were not materially misled. Still, I'm sorry for the sloppiness, and I apologize to Jay Rosen and to Jeff Jarvis. In his courteous E-mail pointing out my mistake, Rosen notes that many people confuse him and Jarvis and wonders why. My reply was that both have first names starting with J and both seem (to me anyway) to specialize in intelligent press criticism not from a right-of-center perspective--a small category, I think.
