Mark Tapscott (director of the Center for Media and Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation): Can the Blogosphere do for government what it has done for the MSM? [mainstream media] A Heritage colleague, Andrew Grossman, replies. Both make VERY good points. I’m wondering whether the systemic forces that Grossman mentions are significantly different at the state/local government level than the federal level. Maybe we’ll have a chance to explore this with the Northfield.org’s civic blogosphere project and the UK Civic Leadership Blogging project, ReadMyDay.
