My colleague Jennie S. Bev wrote about blogging and Web 2.0 in Op-Ed section of The Jakarta Post, Monday (September 17, 2007) [PDF version].
According to her, the conventional media (or the press) –which is known as the fourth estate– and blogging as the new estate are going to complement each other. “As long as the rules of the game and boundaries are mutually respected, there are many things to be learned from each other,” she said.
Jennie also mentioned Asia Blogging Network (ABN) as a maneuver of the new estate from Indonesia:
…a collective effort to unify Indonesian and other Asian blogs has been executed through the establishment of AsiaBlogging.com, which might eventually form a group of influential pundits and opinionated bloggers and broadcasters. Such a unifying effort is an admirable accomplishment, as the selection process would elevate the credibility of Indonesian and Asian bloggers as equal counterparts to the conventional press.
We hope our blog network could mean something for the world of blogging and Web 2.0 and could be one of trusted sources and readings in the new media era.
