What struck me in the study as well was the impression that people now think of bloggers as some kind of friends who are also experts in some field (when it comes to niche blogs) so the level of intimacy between a blogger and a reader is much higher than that between a journalist of a mainstream media outlet and the same reader.profyWed, 29 Oct 2008 05:16:07 -0000
