Oh no. Not more blogger-journalist blather!

Unfortunately this debate seems destined to last as long as the participants can pound away at their keyboards.

So file this one under the heading of insufferable self-indulgence. For the umpteenth time in the last year, journalists and bloggers will gather to debate their sometimes contentious, sometimes parasitic relationship. At this point, I really don't think there's any ground for further disputation. Bloggers just are part of the equation. If you can't get that through your head by now, then it's hopeless.

But the show must go on, so a panel discussion, which Reuters will host at its New York headquarters next week, is devoting itself to "the impact of blogs in journalism and the media."

Wake me when there's some real news.
