If you haven’t heard of Andrew Keen, author of The Cult of the amateur he’s one of the few who take the contrarian approach to the whole Web 2.0 idea, especially open source journalism. He sees the world of new media neatly divided into professionals and amateurs, with the inmates running the asylum.

So it is fun to see someone other than those in the US, take on the contrarian. Kevin Anderson of the Guardian, and a well-known blogger in the UK calls him a ‘professional troll’ with ill conceived ideas about what’s going on around him.

He notes that “the threat to the business model of traditional journalism is not solely the fault of so-called new media, which isn’t that new unless you’ve had your head up your arse for more than a decade now.”

Great read!
