« I Hate To Burst Your Bubble, But... | Main | Local Alt-Weekly Endorses Tax Cut. Really. » June 10, 2004A Blog-Only DietBlogger and public relations exec Steve Rubel spends a week getting his news only from blogs, avoiding teevee news and newspapers. Here's a fascinating report, published at Poynter Online. I am a former journalist, a blogger and a media/public relations professional, and I think the piece offers great insights to the future of blogs, news and public/press relations. Read the whole thing. And if you're interested in exploring how a blog might benefit your company or organization, email me at bill Posted in Blogging & Journalism

I'm surprised at the core methodology, and quite frankly think it discounts the key benefit of a internet based news diet. "Rubel could do no clicking through to articles cited in the weblogs, only read what bloggers wrote." Additionally he says he purposefully avoided all other means of news consumption. This is no different than reading only the op/ed pages of a number of newspapers, and of course one would be left wanting. The power of an internet based news diet is at ones fingertips are the means to peruse instantly, all news, nearly all background and source info, and the incredibly diverse analysis thereof.
