BLOG LOG
"Bloggers have had an impact on how the media might approach a
story or get interested in a subject and, in that sense, they are
like sentinels. They send signals to the mainstream press that
maybe in another time could have taken longer to get attention or
might have been ignored."
--Aly Cohen, a group leader at the Poynter Institute, a
nonprofit independent think tank for journalism, in an article in
Investor's Business Daily (Jan. 3) about the blogosphere.
The article says there are now six million blogs.
