When the Web went big-time in the late 90's, many traditional journalism organizations didn't know what to think about it. Nowadays, they are regularly having to answer to criticism and anlaysis of their reporting from bloggers - a nightmare for the old media suits.
And if you think about it, what an irony. News organizations traditionally rely on the public for their coverage and depend on them as customers. However, they have for years looked at bloggers as a menance, rather them embrace them and even signed them on as reporters and columnists, or "new media" bloggers.

Great commentary. The news media has been very slow to take up blogging and you hit it right on the nail. You must have a journalism background. :-) Nice site, but still needs some work.
