The rise of the little guy in mainstream publishing
OK, so we all say that blogs are just as important as mainstream publishing but realistically nobody believes that, do they?
Funnily enough, some of the mainstream news sources do. The lead article throughout the day after the resignation speech by President Chirac of France on the 24 hour news station France24 (France’s response to CNN) was an article I wrote for one of my blogs. More recently, I was a little confused by reuters.com appearing on the stats of the same blog and it seems that I’ve had over 100,000 readers via Reuters for the same blog in the last week alone.
So whilst we may not always think of the blog as having an influence clearly some quite heavy hitters in the mainstream media are starting to do just that.
