- What is a Blog?
- Do blogs matter? I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years either. — Mississippi Senator Trent Lott, Dec. 5, 2002 “ The Internet’s first scalp.” John Podhertz, The New York Post
- Media’s Response
- A Kennedy school of journalism study found:
- “ A certain receptivity in the bloggers allowed judgment in the press to correct itself.” [1]

- Blogs and the media!
- Societal Shift
- “ When the smoke cleared, mainstream journalism’s authority was weakened. [1]
