Blogs Let Amateurs Steal Your Business Expertise

This blog post discusses an article from Newsweek about the backlash to user generated content and citizen journalism. It cites a study that 91% of people, when going online for information, don't pay attention to where it comes from, mostly due to lack of time. Because businesses aren't blogging or otherwise creating lots of relevant content, that vacuum is being filled by the amateurs, and they may not always be getting the information right. It goes on to explain that SEO and PPC do not have this covered either.

Good article, on a slightly self-serving study. The thought of amateurs filling up the gap may appear frightening. But when I hear the mainstream media discuss a topic I happen to know something about, it's frightening how inaccurate report is. Facts may be checked, but insight cannot be verified. And often, enthusiastic amateurs on a specialised topic may be a more solid source than less specialised journalists. In content marketing, I find that often the challenge is that specialists don't write, and communicators don't know what they're talking about. So what's easier - for a specialist to learn to communicate, or for a communicator to learn a specialised subject area?
