A Question From Chris Daly --- One approach to an answer is historical. In fact, bloggers stand squarely in a long-standing journalistic tradition. In this country, their roots go back to the authors of the often-anonymous writings that helped to found America itself by encouraging the rebellion against Britain. Beginning around 1760 and continuing at a quickening pace, the colonists began taking part in a great public argument -- about the rights of Englishmen, the nature of civil society, and the limits of power. What began as a trickle of protest grew into a torrent of polemic. Hundreds upon hundreds of pamphlets were printed in the colonies between 1760 and 1776, providing the intellectual setting for the debate over independence. Those writings -- and their authors -- played a role that was at least as important as established newspapers in giving expression to the growing political crisis. --- From ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS?

After much speculation about the person, Stephanie and Chris interview him. [MetaFilter] 10:06:27 AM
