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,[13] explaining the virtues of 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"[14] 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."[15]

Online film critics are considered by some to be the next wave of film criticism. In 2007 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"[16] 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?"[17]
