CNN has run pieces on blogs before.
But today … I’m watching, right now, Howard Kurtz and a female reporter are examining - onscreen, live - the blog sites like Technorati and Blogpulse, dailyKOS, Wonkette.
The Power Law will never be so apparent again, as they use some top blogs as examples. I wonder how long it will take “the long tail” to make it onto CNN’s radar ?
Howie says “boy, the blogsophere is so fast”
He’s exploring the ability of blogs to swarm an issue, and also the phenomenon of rapid reader fact-checking.
They’re also exploring the readership …. 27% of Internet users … 48% of readers under 30 … Howie says “That’s where they get their news”.
The segment has been quarter-backed by Judy Woodruff, and is called “Inside the Blogs”
