Then you might want to read a bit more about Jason O&#8217;Grady, the guy behind PowerPage and Apple Insider &#8212; Apple rumour sites that are being sued by the computer company for divulging &#8220;trade secrets,&#8221; otherwise known as rumours about future products. Jason has written <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.zdnet.com\/Apple\/?p=170\">a piece at ZDNet<\/a>, and some of the responses in the comments are worth reading.<\/li>\n<li>Benjamin Cohen is a former teenage dot-com millionaire (former teenager, I assume, not former millionaire) who has had his account with Google&#8217;s AdSense repeatedly <a href=\"http:\/\/business.timesonline.co.uk\/article\/0,,13129-2123601,00.html\">cancelled for click fraud<\/a>, but the search company refuses to say how it determined he was &#8220;guilty&#8221; or what the evidence consists of, citing &#8220;proprietary algorithms&#8221; and rules against disclosure.<\/li>\n<li>David Kirkpatrick, an editor at Fortune magazine, has some thoughts about &#8220;old&#8221; media&#8217;s self-flagellation over its own failings and the superiority of &#8220;new&#8221; media. His point <a href=\"http:\/\/biz.yahoo.com\/hftn\/060407\/040606_fastforward_fortune.html?.v=2\">is that content wins<\/a>, regardless of where it appears, and old media has as good a chance as new media, if it smartens up.<\/li>\n<li>Samuel Freedman is a journalism professor at Columbia who writes on the CBS blog Public Eye that the whole concept of &#8220;citizen journalism&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/blogs\/2006\/03\/30\/publiceye\/entry1458655.shtml\">devalues professional journalism<\/a> and that it ignores the skills and attributes that make professional journalists worth having.
