Description: "The rise of the blog as a form of serious news reporting means that conventional journalists must become familiar with the blog format and rethink typical journalistic approaches. This ABC News program examines the blogger "community, " reviews major news stories that were broken by bloggers, and demonstrates ways in which blogging differs from traditional reporting methods. "60 Minutes" co-anchor Dan Rather resigned after a story he reported was refuted by bloggers, and sham White House press correspondent Jeff Gannon was exposed by bloggers.. Featuring an interview with a Virginia schoolteacher who created a groundswell of political action with her blog, the video shows how the immediacy and the personal style of blog-writing can have powerful results - so powerful that journalistic accountability is now a contentious blog issue."--Container.
