Little Green Footballs’ Charles Johnson stands out as this week’s super blogger. Not only did this eccentric blogger stand up to Reuters, but he brought them accountable for this photo, which was tipped off as a fake by a tipster and readerof his blog. Freelancer Adnan Hajj had added a LOT more smoke to the fire, with the help of Photoshop, adding a layer of conflict that really didn’t happen. The story hit other mainstream outlets like USA Today today and is an encouraging moment in the evolution of how professional journalism works, how it’s defined and how it’s policed.
