"USA Today" about Bloggers
posted Tuesday, 8 March 2005
Here's what a major publication has to say.
The last point is definitely a good one. I certainly would promote someone who is seeking the truth,- in spite of all the disagreements I may have with them and under only one condition,- that they not sell themselves off to the highest bidder like the major publications seem to be doing.
The political "blogosphere," as habitués call it, is an ever-expanding universe filled with fierce argument and even fiercer camaraderie. There are well-known journalists who blog and bloggers who have never written for publication. Most run their blogs as labors of love. But some have raised thousands of dollars from loyal readers.There are liberals, conservatives, libertarians and near-anarchists. The one thing they all agree on: blogging. Bloggers discuss the new medium with proselytizing fervor. They know each others' Web handles (AngryLiberal, Atrios, Instapundit). They use links, which enable Internet users to jump from one Web page to another, to publicize each other's work. Bloggers feel so strongly about blogging, they even promote bloggers they don't agree with.
