blogging phenomenon in 2005 and was instrumental in the rise of journalist-bloggers.

How Journalists are Blogging Personal Journalism
Political and social commentary Reporting with a personal touch/flavor
Collective Blog
Citizen Journalism “Journalism is turning from a lecture into
something between a conversation and a seminar.” (Dan Gillmor)
Journalism/t Blogs Still, the rise of blogs has not been met with
much enthusiasm by the mainstream media, which have generally been slow in grasping the potential of blogging for journalism.
Old vs. New Media?
Bloggers: driving a powerful new form of journalism
supplanting the mainstream media as a source of news, information and insight
Journalists: “amateur wannabes” in need of skills and
editors, and without a basic grasp of journalistic ethics
Why Blog?
Cool things about blogs: Ease of use Instantaneous/Immediate Interactive Free from marketing constraints Creative freedom
Why Blog?
For journalists, blogging does offer more: Space Personal journalism Niche expertise Collaborative media
Expanding the Media Universe
Doc Searls: “Weblogs will inform old media. They
will increasingly be a source of information that traditional media will rely on.”
J.D. Lasica: “Media organizations would do well to
incorporate (blogging) into their Web sites as an important new addition to the journalistic toolkit.”

links, transcripts, research experience and difficulties, tips

affairs
What a blog means for PCIJ? bringing in professional and ethical
standards to “blog journalism”
