News and the Blogosphere

By Bob Toovey - 12 February 2006

The BBC has a good article about Blogs and their effect on mainstream media, in particular how the truth is eventually dug up about contentious new reports. Its was written by By Paul Reynolds, World Affairs correspondent for the BBC News website.

Bloggers can often be seen as people who spread rumours and gossip but as Paul explains that is not true, he cites examples such as the recently controversy over the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.

While not stating it’s an article about Citizen Journalism, it does discuss how bloggers can keep mainstream media on their toes.
