Blogging and Setting the News Agenda

Mustafa Hirji (email) at 10:00 AM

This weekend, the New York Times ran a piece on political blogs, their evolution, and profiled many prominent bloggers. More interestingly though, it discusses the growing influence of these political blogs on setting the news agenda in the US. It's a long article, but a very interesting read if you're interested in blog culture and the state of the news media.

It see that we may have our own little agenda-driving blog in Steve Smith and Co.'s Defeat Jung-Suk Ryu!. Hot off a recent interview with CBC's Canada Now!, DJSR's recent questioning of the existance of Bob Bradley on the Jung-Suk Ryu campaign has made its way into the Edmonton SUN. See this article.
