Let slip the blogs of war.
Glenn Reynolds of InstaPundit has an article in the current National Interest on "The Blogs of War". He talks about how the Iraq War is the first internet war, in much the same way that the Gulf War was the first CNN-war. Reynolds goes on to discuss the importance of bloggers around the world as an independent source of news and information, and how the blogsophere serves as a contemporaneous fact-checking service on the big media outlets. The article highlights yet another way in which blogs are changing the nature of journalism and creating a more-informed and criticallly aware public.
