Over at Gelf Magazine, David Goldenberg interviews David Hauslaib of Jossip, who discusses his blog's coverage of the Peter Braunstein ("the Chelsea rapist") story and adds his insights about the difference between bloggers and journalists. As we pointed out yesterday on Corante New York, Jossip and Gawker were two of the blogs raked over the media coals by David Carr of The New York Times for their obsessive speculation and light-hearted treatment of the Chelsea Rapist over the past ten days or so. Hauslaib responds to his detractors at the Times:

"I'm glad Jossip is on David's radar, as I'm a big fan of his and respect his work intransigently. But sure, it's a little hypocritical for such a respected reporter to harp on a blog's journalistic credibility (of which Jossip claims to have in very limited capacities), when he doesn't so much as fire off an email asking for explanation. That said, he made some great points, but Jossip's editorial isn't about placating his ego, so of course we're going to go on the offensive, if only to pretend to feel hurt."
