    • THE TEN MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS OF 2004: BLOGS AND THE INTERNET


      1. The Blog is a Journal, and Online Journalism is Our Game: 'Journal' is a very inclusive term, and broadly means 'daily writings', and journalists are therefore those who write (or photograph) daily. A diary is a journal, and so is a distinguished medical publication (though the latter is often a monthly, and hence more accurately an anthology or review). So everyone from the author of minutiae of a teenager's life written for a handful of friends, to a prolific daily poster of articles read by thousands, is an online journalist. That's what blogging is, and to attempt to categorize it or restrict it or define it more narrowly is to miss the point. Our tradition goes back centuries, from the writers of regular letters to the poets who wrote from the bunkers of wars to the pamphleteers whose work was critical to the emergence of democracy around the world, we are all journalists, pure and simple daily writers. The fact that our writing is online makes it more accessible but that is all. It is no new phenomenon or quantum leap, merely the rediscovery by many of the joy of composing paragraphs of fact and fiction and sharing them with others.

      2. We Are Our Own Content Providers, and
      3. Content Has Value Only in Use: The Mainstream Media (which some writers are now calling the 'legacy media' have this arrogant view (reinforced in a recent Atlantic Magazine article, ironically available only to print subscribers) that they are the font of all news, and that the blogosphere would 'have nothing to talk about' if it weren't for them.
