Terry McDermott's Article, Blogs can top the presses, discusses Talking Points Memo, a political blog.
The article highlights the current phenomenon of blogging and how it continues to effect the world of journalism. Blogs can take many forms; video blogs, photoblogs, Personal blogs, news blogs, etc.
The blogosphere continues to grow, and more and more it becomes an alternative to mainstream media types. The speed and convenience at which information is transmitted to the public is much greater through a blog than through television or radio.
I receive most of my media through various blogs... kotaku for video game news, and perez hilton for my dirty celebrity gossip.
Mainstream media will clearly need to find a way to compete with the intimate and convenient medium of blogs.
