The summation of human experience is being
expanded at a prodigious rate, and the means we
use for threading through the consequent maze to
the momentarily important item is the same as was
used in the days of square-rigged ships.

Questions to Consider How does blogging
realize the potential of hypertextual
Internet communication? How has blogging
redefined our conceptions of journalism and
criticism? How might blogging affect the
relationship between the university and the
public sphere, whether local, regional,
national, or global? What pedagogical
functions might blogging play in the
university classroom?

In Douglas Rushkoff's Media Virus, Greg Ruggerio
of the Immediast Underground is quoted as saying,
The media is a corporate possession...You
cannot participate in the media. Bringing that
into the foreground is the first step. The second
step is to define the difference between public
and audience. An audience is passive a public is
participatory. We need a definition of media that
is public in its orientation. By highlighting
articles that may easily be passed over by the
typical web user too busy to do more than scan
corporate news sites, by searching out articles
from lesser-known sources, and by providing
additional facts, alternative views, and
thoughtful commentary, weblog editors participate
in the dissemination and interpretation of the
news that is fed to us every day. Their sarcasm
and fearless commentary remind us to question the
vested interests of our sources of information
and the expertise of individual reporters as they
file news stories about subjects they may not
fully understand.

Weblog editors sometimes contextualize an article
by juxtaposing it with an article on a related
subject each article, considered in the light of
the other, may take on additional meaning, or
even draw the reader to conclusions contrary to
the implicit aim of each. It would be too much to
call this type of weblog "independent media," but
clearly their editors, engaged in seeking out and
evaluating the "facts" that are presented to us
each day, resemble the public that Ruggerio
speaks of. By writing a few lines each day,
weblog editors begin to redefine media as a
public, participatory endeavor. --
