Blogs versus news
You may think I’m getting obsessed with Google News these days. I assure you I’m not but I did think it was quite revealing that when I searched on ‘Edelman Walmart blog’ I got twelve news responses. When I used the site to search for blogs with the same criteria I got 1,458 responses. That means for every news item there were over 120 blog mentions. Going back to my HP item the ratio was more like 1.5 blog mentions to each news item. I guess this shows how the blogging world works.

Tim, I love this concept of looking at the ration between news items and blogs. I'm thinking you could take a number of crises and conduct this study to come up with a benchmark for various industries and types of crisis. It's my favorite new measurement idea of the month, thanks!

Sure there are more blogs than news but (at least in my oppinion) many blogs I came across are less reliable and dont have as much in depth coverage as most news sites.
Great post Tim.
Interesting idea Tim. Neither of us have the time to validate this but I suspect that they vast majority of the blog posts are "echoes".
The echo in traditional media tends to be word of mouth. The echo in the blogosphere tends to be text reposts - as in "Nice post on Tim's blog - I agree...".
So, while it would appear that there is more activity that activity is a manifestation of the medium.
Blog sites and news media outlets are totally different in how they operate. Remember that the news business is show business where motives are driven by profits. It's all about seeling advertising. And blogs are anybodys word, so they are often subjective because they are reflective, but they are open in that they at least aren't open to editors putting their spin on it.

Wal-Mart's Fake Blog Gets Called Out
BusinessWeek pulled the covers off the Wal-Marting Across America blog, revealing its backing by an Edelman-financed organization called Working Families for Wal-Mart. The demise of the fake blog, being called a "flog" by MediaPost in its description of the site, promptly had its doors blown off by commentary from throughout the blogosphere.

This one will be short. Over the years, bloggers have received grief about not being professional enough. bet basketball This grief has come from big news agencies. I’ll agree, at times, bloggers do have a more lax feel to their posts. They may not have editors like news firms have, but their passion more than makes up for it. HOWEVER, big news agencies are now losing credence in my mind these days. The drivel that is coming from them is frustrating. I’m not talking about content either. sportsbook I’m talking about grammar. It’s the one area where “professional” journalism is supposed to shine. Sadly, more and more, it is not. Here are three examples from the Reuters News Agency Though the path has not been smooth, our economic system has worked extraordinarily well over time,” [Buffet] said. “It has unleashed human potential as no other system has, and it will continue to do so. America’s best days lie ahead. Berkshire generates about half its results from insurance, including auto insurer Geico Corp, but operates more than 70 businesses that offer such things as carpeting, march madness ice cream, paint, real estate services and underwear. I found it pretty strange that Buffet was explaining what Berkshire did in a letter to Berkshire shareholders. He wasn’t though. It was just poor writing (and even poorer editing) that allowed the paragraph to end without a closing quotation mark.
Though that small minor item pales in comparison to other offense.
