| This study examines the relationship that developed between bloggers and newspapers journalists during the resignation of Trent Lott from the post of Senate Majority Leader in 2002, and the Killian memo scandal of the 2004, Presidential election. It argues that the relationship between bloggers and newspapers journalists highlights the inter-networked environment which news is produced in today. As various news producers from all media compete and co-operate with on another in the production of news, bloggers highlight the interconnected nature of the news narrative that is produced. Representing a new way to present news born out of media convergence, the bloggers in this study produce a daily multimedia news narrative. |
