Are blogs journalism's new wave -- or just public forums for the bored?

'"Depending on the day, a search for the word "blogs" on Google or Yahoo will net you about 37 million sites -- give or take two or three million.
Last year, the word "blog" was the most searched on the Merriam-Webster online dictionary and according to a new study by the U.S. Pew Internet and American Life Project, blog readership increased more than 58 per cent last year with seven per cent of the 120 million American adults who use the Internet saying they have created a blog or web-based diary."
NOTE:Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
