Andrew Sullivan on the value of blogging and how blogging differs from traditional print journalism.

It is accountable in immediate and unavoidable ways to readers and other bloggers, and linked via hypertext to continuously multiplying references and sources. Unlike any single piece of print journalism, its borders are extremely porous and its truth inherently transitory.
Logs require a letting-go of narrative because they do not allow for a knowledge of the ending. So they have plot as well as dramatic irony—the reader will know the ending before the writer did.

- A novelist can spend months or years before committing words to the world. For bloggers, the deadline is always now. Blogging is therefore to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.

Quote: Journalism is on a fast-paced, transformative
journey, its destination still unknown. That the Web and other media
technologies are affecting mightily the practice of journalism is
beyond dispute. Less clear is any shared vision of what the future
holds. - christyinsdesign on 2007-01-21
