The Revolution Will Be Blogged
RECEIVED Mon., March 8, 2004
Dear Editor,
Will the revolution be blogged? The short answer is, yes, the revolution will be blogged.
The proper question is, however, who will be reading which version of the revolution?
Blog audiences, like most of America, tend to be pretty bipolar. Libs read lib blogs, and 'wingers read 'winger blogs.
I think weblogs function mostly, and perhaps best, as a support group for their intended constituencies. They sure don't seem to affect national media coverage in any meaningful way, and aren't likely to change anyone's mind.
