Weblogging

PBS, Apr 29, 2003

Interesting bit on weblogs transcribed from PBS's Online Newshour (audio and video feeds are also available). The core message is the use of weblogs to democratize journalism, with a subtext emphasizing their clout and impact, as demonstrated in the unseating of Trent Lott. The transcript also hints at the idea of the weblog universe as a global conversation. An unwelcome contribution from an MSNBC "weblog editor" touts the idea that posts should be screened before they are published - thereby showing that his organization, at least, has completely missed the point of weblogs.
