Les Bloggers

Dave Winer points to a story in a French magazine.


Autorisés pour la première fois à couvrir la convention du parti démocrate, les bloggers, ces journalistes et éditorialistes indépendants du web apportent une bouffée de fraicheur à un évènement des plus convenus.

Translation

Authorized for the first time to cover the Democratic Party convention, bloggers, those independent web journalists, bring a blast of freshness to a highly pre-arranged event.

I'm not trying to be snarky here at all, but living in France now and having to learn the language I would interpret it a wee bit differently (it doesn't change the fundamental meaning, but gives a better sense of what a Frenchman would read):

Authorized for the first time to cover the Democratic Party convention, the bloggers independent jornalists and editorialists on the web, bring a breath of fresh air to a very pre-arranged event.

Although I've only been here a short time (a bit over three months) I've learned that "editorialists" are not viewed in the same way as "journalists", and the fact that they used both descriptions for bloggers is significant.

Now, we return you to your regular commenting....

Whoops, dropped a comma in editing. Correction:

Authorized for the first time to cover the Democratic Party convention, the bloggers, independent jornalists and editorialists on the web, bring a breath of fresh air to a very pre-arranged event.

My comment regarding editorialists still stands.
