Feud continues between Salmon and Gasparino

Alex Schiff of Benzinga reports that the comments made by Fox Business Network‘s Charles Gasparino that he was not given a chance to respond to a post by Reuters blogger Felix Salmon before it was posted has been met with a reply by Salmon.

Schiff writes, “As I had done the interview with Charlie and an earlier interview with Felix Salmon, Felix emailed me to get his side out.

“‘Gasparino has a standing invitation to respond in as much detail and at as much length as he likes, with the response appearing on that particular blog entry, or elsewhere on my blog, or on his blog, or anywhere he wants,’ Felix wrote. ‘So far, he has consistently refused to say anything on the record about the incident in question.’

“Charlie was unable to be reached for a response.

“What’s interesting to me about this debate is the degree to which the lines between traditional journalism and the blogosphere are blurring. Consider, for example, Andrew Ross Sorkin’s Dealbook. While it is typically referred to as a blog (it even won a Webby Award for Best Business Blog in 2007 and an EPpy Award for Best Business Blog in 2008), it breaks news nearly as frequently as any other section of the New York Times — does that make Sorkin a blogger or journalist? I don’t think anyone that listened to my interview with him a few months ago could say he’s not a journalist, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive.”
