Blogs and blogging meet business arrangements. I am sure the story that Arianna Huffington is going to aggregate opinions in a group blog isn't news to anyone who was browsing over the weekend. The fact that the group blog is going to syndicate daily excerpts is more interesting. That is the way blogs work for digerati now. That is, the digerati take their news from sources in news media, from wire services, from blogs, and distill a version of the news from that. I am teaching my students about the Hutchins Report this week and was reflecting on the "full account of the day's news" directive to those who would do good journalism. In today's 24/7 news cycle, what is the equivalent of the "day's news?" If you have some suggestions, let me know. Syndicate to Offer Excerpts from Huffington's Celeb-Filled Blog
