Are Blogs Changing News Processes?

A new survey provides an insight into how journalists who blog think the online activity is changing the way they work.

Blogger and academic Paul Bradshaw polled some 200 journalists from around the world for the project.

He writes that the research aims to show “the perceptions of journalists themselves of how the blogging has affected their processes”.

Among the areas looked at are how blogging is changing the way stories are generated and gathered, and whether blogs are altering the relationship between journalists and their audience.

The results are now available on Bradshaw’s Online Journalism Blog in the form of seven blog posts.
