My boss Trent Seibert's short piece on the rise of citizen journalism -- and the decline of traditional "old" media -- for a new blog is getting a lot of attention today after being linked-to by Instapundit.

Trent's piece was titled "Newspapers Broke My Heart. Will Citizen Journalism Heal It?" It was written for NewsTechZilla, a new site dedicated to the technology of the new media and teaching folks -- both journalists and citizen-journalists -- how to use it.

I know the boss is grateful to both NewsTechZilla, for inviting him to write on a topic that's important to him, as well as to Instapundit for linking to him.
