Check out the blogging of the president link...

Uh oh, they're starting to get it.

Freewheeling 'bloggers' are rewriting the rules of journalism, in USA Today.

It's still framed in terms of competition between bigfeet and littlefeet, even though the market logic is AND, not OR. It's also focused mostly on politics, which is fine.

As usual, Jay Rosen gets the best pull quote: readers are becoming writers. This gets at the most important effect of the Internet on the world's markets: demand gets the power to supply. It revolutionizes everything.

There are even plenty of links in the story text (though none to Jay, oddly). The emerging best launch site of the bunch: The Blogging of the President: 2004. Great grist in there.

Thanks to Loïc for the pointer.
