Many journalists have publicly cast a wary eye toward blogs, citing them as dubious sources of credibility. But most still read them and incorporate them into their jobs, according to a study conducted by Euro RSCG Magnet and Columbia University.
The study found:

• 53% use blogs on a daily basis for finding stories
• 43% use blogs to research and reference facts
• 36% use blogs to find sources
• 33% use logs to uncover breaking news or scandals
  

To put this in perspective, a Pew Internet and American Life survey recently showed only 11% of the rest of the U.S. population reads blogs.

THE LESSON: Blogs are generally thought to influence the general public, but they also influence the influencers.
