Blogging: Digital Democracy

Fast Company Expert blogger, Bill Cammack, recently wrote about an outstanding clip discussing the blogging world. PBS Frontline is currently doing a series called "News War: What's Happening to the News" worthy of checking out.

The clip titled "The New Universe of Online Media" aired Feb. 27 discusses specific examples of a changing media landscape (See: Part 3, Section 19).

To fellow bloggers here is some food for thought:
Jeff Jarvis, founder of BuzzMachine.com, says "I don't think we are very far along in the path of development of blogging and journalism. I think there is much more to be done. But I don't think it's just about reporting ones story, it's also about setting the agenda. It's also about keeping stories alive and telling mainstream media what they ought to be doing."

Also, Bill Cammack's post "Citizen Journalism" provides great insight into the issue.
