There are many instances of bloggers and microbloggers in China reporting on things which are subject to official censorship (rural riots, urban protests etc) - I can't think of any specific examples, but the UK-based <a href="http://bloodandtreasure.typepad.com/blood_treasure/" rel="nofollow">Blood & Treasure</a> blog follows much of it and would, no doubt, be able to supply examples.

Easy to answer: because it’s more comfy! And because anyone can publish content and have as much or more audience for it than traditional media, for some years now. Bloggers blog because they want to, and are not tied to a strict newsroom structure (it’s more fun than a job- not really, no), nor suffer the pressures of an editorial line besides their own personal views.

Great list. I've created a dipity timeline from your list and Mindy's post on a similar subject. I also had a suggestion for the list which popped up whilst I was thinking about some defining moments of the Presidential election. How about a mention for Mayhill Fowler who got two big scoops via the huffington. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mayhill-fowler/bill-clinton-purdhum-a-sl_b_104771.html and earlier http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mayhill-fowler/obama-no-surprise-that-ha_b_96188.html She certainly generated some hand wringing on the trad media.
