The
\n Grey Lady has been eyeing the Blogosphere for a while, aware that something
\n significant was going on, and unure
\n if it should be interested, amused or bothered. Several Times writers,
\n like Nick Kristof, maintain true, uneditied blogs, where you can get
\n to know them as people. <\/em><\/p>\n

An article in tomorrow’s paper profiles Josh
\n Marshall and TalkingPoints as an

\n influence
\n of Blogs

Web journals like Joshua Marshall’s have
\n become indispensable this campaign season:
\n They
\n mobilize
\n supporters,
\n question
\n traditional
\n media coverage and feed the insatiable appetites of political junkies.<\/p>\n

A powerful new networking tool for the politically plugged-in and hangers-on,
\n the constant online chatter broadens campaign discourse and accelerates
\n the news cycle.<\/p>\n

Such journals, known as blogs, may not be doing much to sway
\n undecided voters, but analysts say they strongly impact the media, campaign
\n consultants and activists.<\/p>\n

Blogs are collections of links and ideas, usually frequently updated.
\n Their most recent entries are on top, and readers can generally post
\n comments. Blogs are increasingly popular, and the software behind
\n them gets friendlier to use by the day.<\/p>\n

His postings, at TalkingPointsMemo.com<\/a>, are often written in real
\n time before the event he’s chronicling is even over. Readers get
\n a sense of
\n being there.<\/p>\n

Dean campaign staffer Allison Stuntz filed frequent pro-Dean dispatches
\n from a press bus in Iowa, while Kerry’s blogmeister, Dick Bell, made
\n arrangements for staffers and volunteers in New Hampshire to submit
\n items — pro-Kerry, of course.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
