WEBLOG AS JOURNALISM
(Friday) Dan Gillmor points to Jay Rosen's (NY University J school chief) blog and his post "What's Radical About the Weblog Form in Journalism?" Link

Observation #6: "A weblog can 'work' journalistically—it can be sustainable, enjoyable, meaningful, valuable, worth doing, and worth it to other people —if it reaches 50 or 100 or 160 souls who like it, use it, and communicate through it. Whereas in journalism the traditional way, such a small response would be seen as a failure, in journalism the weblog way the intensity of a small response can spell success."
