Gant's book all-in-all thought provoking

After wrapping up Gant's book and considering my thoughts on his views, I have had time to think about what the book really did for me.

I realized that throughout the book I went through what almost everyone is going through with citizen journalism. I had to change my way of thinking. Before reading Gant's book I had never thought of citizen journalism. I never thought of YouTube and MySpace and blogging to be these huge things.

I went through a process of being scared of citizen journalism. This is probably the spot where news organizations and government have stopped in their thought processes.

After reading Gant's arguments and thinking about them for awhile, he makes valid points. With a federal shield law, there should be no worry about everyone wanting to be a journalist. People just aren't that invested.
