Chickens, eggs and the Start button

February 25th, 2005 · No Comments

Netjak has an article Thursday by Rick Healey that discusses the “birth of video game journalism.” Interestingly enough, I find that those critiquing the subject have the same complaints as do both sides with regard to almost any other topic, from politics to mathematics. Those who are “in” any industry have always complained that the journalists covering them have no idea what they’re writing about, and the journalists always defend themselves by saying that they know enough about the story to write it.

Which leads to today’s world - in a place where everyone lots of people play journalist/commentator on the Internet, does the chicken come before the egg?
