What is the correct preposition in this sentence?
What is the correct preposition in the following sentence?
Rapid convergence in the media and entertainment industries is blurring the line between “who does what.”
Is “between” correct here? Or should it be “in”? Or do you think the sentence needs rewriting?
I think when you use “between,” you have to name two items — “between this and that.”

It sounds OK to me: the reference to two or more people is implicit. "in" would definitely be wrong.

The sentence is not using the idiom blurring the line between correctly. You are right, you need two things with that idiom, and the sentence does need rewriting. who does what is not a valid complement there. You'd need to say something like "between news and fantasy" or "between fact and fiction".

Even if it were perfeclty fine, the quotation marks would completely ruin it. Get rid of those first.

I think the sentence is right because it is about the comparison between two things: the media and the entertainment industry.
