Bloggers: The New face of Journalism
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2003-12-30-blogging-usat_x.htm

The TV networks and major newspapers now face spirited competition from blogs (i.e., Web logs) offered by independent political commentators. Here are a few blogs you might want to become familiar with: Instapundit.com; AndrewSullivan.com; TalkingPointsMemo.com; DrudgeReport.com; DailyKos.com; RealClearPolitics.com; and Kausfiles.com. Washington lobbyist Ellen Miller says that blogging "takes the media out of the hands of the corporate world and puts it into the hands of guys with computers"; Glenn Reynolds, a law professor and blogger (Instapundit.com) says the blogosphere has become an "idea farm" for the established media; Andrew Sullivan (AndrewSullivan.com) says blogging is "like having a giant communal brain"; and Tom Bevan (RealClearPolitics.com) says that blogging means that "if you have something to say that's interesting, you will eventually be heard."
