« Today's Reading List | Main | Bloggers Surveyed » October 12, 2005Yahoo! To Include Blogs in News Search ResultsThe news in this AP story might get me to switch from Google News to Yahoo! News... Yahoo Inc.'s online news search tool on Monday added Internet journal entries as a supplement to professional media offerings - an experiment that figures to test the public's appetite for information from alternative sources. Under Yahoo's new approach, a keyword search for online news will include a list of relevant Web logs, or "blogs," displayed in a box to the right of the results collected from mainstream journalism.That's because, as I said the other day, journalism isn't difficult - and you don't need a four-year degree to do it or do it well. You need to be able to ask the right questions, you need to know how to find information, you need to write reasonably well, and you need to be accurate and be honest. And you need a place to publish - a function that a blog fills rather well. Jeff Jarvis has further thoughts about Yahoo's decision to include blogs in its news search results. Posted in Blogging
