Media Relationships
Interesting thoughts from Jeff Jarvis and Hugh MacLeod posted on Jeff's BuzzMachine. I suppose they're hitting on an obvious strength of blogs -- people want to be heard and blogs give not just the writer, but also the reader, a simple and quick platform. Excerpts - condensed and out of context:

Hugh: "Media is not 'entertainment' or 'information.' Media is an interface. Interface implies action."

Jeff: "This medium is about relationships and the audience wants (desperately) to relate to media (or at least news media) as more than just an audience. They want a conversation. They want influence. They want power. No, we want all those things. That is the real guiding principle for the future of media: relationships."
