The Blog, The Press, The Media: I am not Paranoid, but Trees are Out to Get MEdia Dragon
Back in the mists of early Internet history, online publishing was going to wrest power from the inky fingers of old media groups and put it in the hands of ordinary people. Well, it never happened. Yet just when old media began to feel smug again about its old-fashioned paper-based products, weblogging (known as blogging) happened. The question for the big media world is whether to embrace the phenomenon that, in part, claims to undermine it.
Blogs have emerged as an instant critique of major media, says Andrew Sullivan, former editor of the New Republic, whose weblog book reviews can lift a title into the top ten on Amazon. At the same time, bloggers are parasites on big media, relying on them for stories and raw material.
