The third edition of Pajamas Media's Blog Week in Review is up and available as a free download.
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit is back this week after a one week absence. The rest of the regulars are back: Tammy Bruce, Eric Umansky, and moderator Austin Bay.
Ed Driscoll is the man in the production booth.
This week's episode is the best yet, the panelists opine at length the plagiarism case of "novelist" Kaavya Viswanathan.
During the discussion, it's brought up (again) that the biggest criticism of blogs from the mainstream media is that bloggers don't have the multiple layers of editors and fact checkers--yet, oops--another "real" writer gets caught stealing.
The panelists mention other facets of plagiarism issue, but rather than you read about it here, I suggest you listen in.
Darfur, this week's immigration rallies, and LA Times "sock puppets" are other topics tackled in week three of Blog Week in Review.
Also, on the iTunes site, listeners can write a review for Blog Week in Review. I recommend you do. Last week I filled out the Zoomerang online survey about week two's show. Perhaps other listeners had the same suggestion, but I pointed out a glaring omission from the first two weeks of the podcast series: The Pajamas web site address was not mentioned at all.
For week three Austin not only mentions www.pajamasmedia.com, but also rattles off the web addresses of all the blogs, and a couple of mainstream sites, referred to in this week's podcast.
So speak up. They listen.
