Bloggers

Although recent scholarship concerning political blogs has focused on blog content (Adamic & Glance, 2004; Bichard, 2006; Jackson, 2006; Rogers, 2005), the influence of blogs (Drezner & Farrell, 2004) and blog readers (Johnson & Kaye, 2004; Kaye, 2007), little research has been done on prominent political bloggers themselves.

This study examines the formation of linking norms among political bloggers and professional journalists. Through in-depth interviews with Web editors, reporters, and bloggers within and outside professional newsrooms, it explores the institutional and cultural forces at work in determining whom blogs and news sites link to, and in what contexts. Drawing on the framework of institutionalism, this study aims to supplement research on journalistic normalization and hyperlink patterns by providing a fuller understanding of the processes by which professional journalism and the political blogosphere mutually adapt toward new norms. It finds a significant role for blogging’s cultural values in establishing the importance of linking within professional newsrooms, but also a heavy influence on journalists’ linking practices from bureaucratic processes within those newsrooms.

""Además de transformar los cauces de participación del público en el nuevo panorama mediático y de generar toda una revolución en Internet, los blogs pueden ayudar a los futuros periodistas a adquirir algunos hábitos que pueden enriquecer su trabajo. Si consideramos que la profesión periodística está fuertemente condicionada por el tiempo, con períodos de edición y publicación multiplicados y más reducidos, el periodista depende cada vez más de hábitos que le permitan responder con mayor diligencia a estas nuevas exigencias, con un mejor producto, no sólo por su calidad sino por su grado de ejercicio de la negociación.
Conocer cuáles son esos comportamientos y cómo los blogs ayudan a potenciarlos son los objetivos principales de este trabajo""
