Congratulations to Dan Drezner and Henry Farrell for their insightful and thorough essay on bloggers and blogging at Foreign Policy online. (Is that "blog triumphalism"?)
The growing clout of bloggers has transformed some into "blog triumphalists." To hear them tell it, blogging is the single most transformative media technology since the invention of the printing press. Rallying cries, such as "the revolution will be blogged," reflect the belief that blogs might even supplant traditional journalism. But, as the editor of the Washington, D.C.-based blog "Wonkette," Ana Marie Cox, has wryly observed, "A revolution requires that people leave their house."Posted by dan at November 15, 2004 11:31 PM
