News gathering is a resource hungry and expensive business. Comment and analysis is not. The commentariat is scared. Journos are essentially nervous about blogs.

As you both note, blogs are a platform/technology, not a content model. There are techniques common to blogging, but there's no established guidelines for what constitutes a blog. As such, there's really no use in discussing blogs as a form of journalism. Blogs can be *used* for journalism, but they can also chronicle the daily habits of domesticated cats. The real topic beneath this bloggy exterior seems to be the adoption of "conversational journalism." By allowing the audience to actively participate via comments, how does *this* influence journalism? @Paul and Russ: You both touch upon one of the core issues in this debate: the blogs-journalism misnomer.

I'm tired of this question and of the immediate biases some people bring to the word "blog." Blogs are nothing more than tools, just like paper is nothing more than a medium. Paper can carry journalism or crap, just like blogs. Why is this so difficult to understand? Bless you!

Does blogging upset mainstream media? Probably more that the media likes to build or burst bubbles, and blogs have been hyped and popped by mainstream media for a while.
