"In contrast, bloggers are armed with a far more effective piece of access than a White House press credential: passion." - Huffington
NVDL: 100%
Traditional journalists are blogging, while bloggers are gaining credibility and stature in traditional media, Huffington said in a Reuters interview ahead of Tuesday's release of "The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging."
The blogging guide published by Simon & Schuster provides tips on getting started and noticed as well as Huffington's own views, having created one of the most influential Web sites to gain prominence during the 2008 White House race.
"Blogging," Huffington wrote in the book's introduction, "has been the greatest breakthrough in popular journalism since Tom Paine." Paine's 1776 pamphlet "Common Sense" dramatically helped promote the cause of American independence.
"The new media will continue to allow people who otherwise would not have a voice to have a voice, and that's not something that's going to wear off," she said.
