Doc Searls, Dave Winer, Rick Klau and others chime in on my posting about the value of editing vs. filtering (see Bill Brandon's comments on my posting, too).
I particularly appreciate Dave's adding my piece to the Bloggercon reading list. Among the pieces I recommend there are Scott Rosenberg's See no evil, hear no evil, report no evil?, which lays out a key debate about the value-loading of political perspective that we must be aware of when we read, read anything.
On a related note, Correspondences.org has become a hotbed of teen journalism, with students from Redwood High School flocking to the site not just to post but to comment. It's exciting to see ideas being debated, the facts as each of these young writers understand them being laid out and discussed. Even the criticism is respectively, which fills me with hope for the future. If you are a high school journalism teacher who wants your classes to participate or a student who wants to join the Corresponendences "staff," just mail me.
