Tom Gantert posts about citizen journalists

A sometime commenter Tom Gantert (I appreciate that he uses his own name) has offered a great reflection on a previous post on citizen journalists. Apparently Tom left the comment on the AnnArbor.com site a couple days ago, but it has apparently been lost because it has not been posted.

I tried to copy and paste it here, but I'm in Buffalo and something isn't working correctly so here's the link to the previous post and Tom's response is with the comments. There are other good comments as well.

Here's the AnnArbor.com post it refers to.

It's really too bad they didn't post Tom's reply to that article. That is exactly the sort of thing that makes the internet interesting. Not the comment they published.

Maybe the new blogging leader, Edward Vielmetti, can explain why a polite, if critical comment was censored off the AnnArbor.com site.

It seemed reasonable and within civil bounds to me.

Posting only the opinions that coincide with those of AnnArbor.com management will not fly in that town. It's already launching with a big question mark hanging over it.
