Online Journalism Review looks at the tension between revenue and journalism in content oriented web sites in The Fuzzy World of Sponsored Content and in Behind Closed Dot-com Doors. These same forces are at work in nonprofit web sites (and conferences, for that matter), but sometimes without the traditions of journalism to help watchdog the problems.
Jim Carlton looks at how as dot-coms crash, dot-orgs are paradigms of stability. I'm not sure this is entirely true, but he makes some very important points. These are things that some of us felt were true, even all through the dotcom boom. The road to maturity for the online nonprofit is now becoming much more clear.
