==Internet film criticism vs print film criticism== |

When she was still a web critic for ''SpoutBlog'', Longworth appeared in the documentary ''[[For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism]]'',<ref>[http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/457460/For-the-Love-of-Movies-The-Story-of-American-Film-Criticism/cast For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism Acting Credits] The New York Times, March 5, 2011</ref> explaining the virtues of [[blog|blogging]] — for creating a back-and-forth dialogue with readers. About blogging she went on to say, "I have a Master’s Degree in [[Film Studies]], but I’m no more qualified to blog than a high school student in Vermont." No more qualified she may be, but as to influence, the New York Times has called Longworth, "freakishly smart"<ref>[http://carpetbagger.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/the-bagger-in-la-post-game-pyrotechnics/ ''The Carpetbagger''] The Awards Season Blog of the New York Times, 13 January 2009</ref> and Variety said, "... it's the ever-proliferating bloggers — ''Spout'', ''Cinematical'', ''Movie City'' ''News and Hollywood Elsewhere'' — that have become the instant barometers for how a film plays."<ref>[http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=festivals&jump=story&id=2470&articleid=VR1117979659 Blogosphere taps festival buzz], ''Variety'', 25 January 2008</ref> |

Online film critics are considered by some to be the next wave of film criticism. In 2007 [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] said, "As the pool of well-paid print critics shrinks in size, the next generation of film fans may come to trust critic/bloggers like ... Spout’s Karina Longworth, who helped to create the major film blog Cinematical"<ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117967407?refCatId=2508 Indie films crave great reviews], [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]], June 21, 2007</ref> [[The New York Times]] has commented, "Are print critics really so all-important and sacrosanct with the Web full of debates about all manner of film in places like indiewire.com, cinematical.com and blog.spout.com?"<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/01/movies/01crit.html?_r=1 Now on the Endangered Species List: Movie Critics in Print], [[New York Times]], April 1, 2008</ref> |
