Confessions of a Journalist Digger

by David Cohn
David Cohn explores the democratization of the media through Digg.com, a social bookmarking website that lets users vote and essentially determine the best news of the day. He explores the concept that readers, not an editor, determine what should be highlighted on the front page and tackles the ethical question: Can a social bookmarker be a professional journalist? Cohn speaks with the CEO of Digg to help answer this question.
