Australian bloggers, Mark Bahnisch from Group Blogs, Larvatus Prodeo and Nicholas Gruen from Club Troppo were featured on the ABC News Program , Saturday Extra this morning, with the ABC presenter giving some grudging acknowledgement of their role. It is too bad that these journalists have such a jaundiced view "We are all too busy to read blogs", was her constructive comment. Well your loss Madam.
Specialised blogs unlike this one are being taken more seriously by other forms of the MSM. Other examples here demonstrate the edgy relationship between the MSM, who are tip toeing into journalist commentary with comments and feedback, and serious blogs. I think that they need to learn to relax a little.
It seems pretty intuitive that this is a complementary and perhaps at some point competitive and adversary role between blogs and the MSM, just like this exists with the MSM and politicians. Reading some of the political blogs, some of the analysis is first rate. Given that the resources available to individual bloggers is pretty limited, it is amazing the high quality of material produced.

It is not a good idea to underestimate the importance of blogs - especially a TV channel who may find that their power to influence views and to put their own particular 'slant' on the news begins to wane. I think they should be keeping up with their new competition - the millions of blogging 'journalists' who are less afraid to rock the boat and say exactly what they think.
I should have read the 'Creative Economy' article before adding that comment - it expresses what I was trying to say so much better!
