Josh Marshall: “One of the most neglected aspects of the blogosphere, in my opinion, is that precisely because it’s (mostly) composed of people who aren’t professional journalists, it’s composed of people who are professional doers of something else and know a great deal about what it is they ‘really’ do. Consequently, the overall network of blogs contains a great deal of embedded knowledge.”
Hurrah!
Josh is on break. I think Matthew Ygelesias wrote the bit about doers in the blogosphere.
It’s a good point.
