Among the media credential applications for this summer's Democratic National Convention -- from the TV networks, newspapers, and radio stations -- is the one from 21-year-old Jesse Taylor, a pundit of the self-declared variety.He may not be a traditional journalist, but the recent college graduate does have a blog, a website called pandagon.net, where his opinions on current events and the press draw 12,000 readers per day. And from the standpoint of Democratic National Convention organizers, that could be good enough....
Over the past couple years, weblogs have become more accepted as media, especially now that newspapers are finally catching on and starting their own weblogs.
It's kind of funny to me to hear and read media pundits exclaiming that weblogs are the newest and hottest thing around, since I've been blogging for 4.5 years. I've never been too political on my weblog and don't plan on starting any time soon. Weblogging is just a fun hobby for me. I don't want it to be work.
