Heart and soul 怎麼賣？

早上，從 Gawker Media 新推出的 blogzine "Lifehacker" （目前由 Sony 獨家贊助）逛到它主編 Gina Trapani 的個人網站 Scribbling.net，再從她的「網路名片」轉到The Digital Journalist這個新聞攝影網站。無意中從裡頭的 Eddie Adams 紀念專輯目錄頁中看到一句話："Great photographs are created not through a camera but in the photographer's heart and soul." 心頭一震，點選連結看到完整的段落如下：

"Nothing speaks for a photographer with greater eloquence than the pictures he or she makes because great photographs are created not through a camera but in the photographer's heart and soul. The remarkable pictures made by Eddie Adams reflect the heart and soul of a remarkable man - they speak to his insight, his desire to be meaningful, his desire to change the world for the better."

好的 blogger, 新聞工作者，跟他們的作品以及這個世界的關係，不也該是如此嗎？

想起昨晚讀到林照真在這期「天下」寫的「誰在收買媒體」(目前網路上似乎還看不到這篇文章)，對比於近日陸續出現的一些 blog 行銷活動，不免好奇台灣新聞媒體的困境，是會在 blog 圈裡重演，還是找到絕地反攻的堡壘呢？
