The New York Times hands election day commentary to bloggers
The old media continues its fascination with the new media,
specifically the world of bloggers. Today's New York Times literally
gave one column each to its regular columnists, David Brooks and Paul
Krugman, and polled a bunch of bloggers for their thoughts on the
election.
It's neat that the Grey Lady pays so much attention to the unfolding
blogosphere, but on the other hand isn't it odd to pick your
commentators based on their medium? "The Times polled the anchors of
the major TV networks." Or "The Times asked talk radio jocks for their
comments." Or "The Times asked tabloid editorialists to comment."
Note how much real estate the broadsheet print edition gave the
bloggers, compared to what's allocated on nytimes.com:
