Eurozine - This blogging business nowadays - Krystian Woznicki Spectacularization of the “blogosphere” and citizen journalism Annotated

This latter point falls into the realm of speculation. One thing is certain though: the blogs with high visitor figures are not produced by the hoi polloi. TVBlogger, Lawblog, Spreeblick and Mein Parteibuch, which rank among the top 5 German-language blogs, along with the Bild blog, are anything but amateur projects. However, the Bild blog also demonstrates that the grassroots touch is in demand. It is definitely no coincidence that the website of Spreeblick adopts such a dilettante air. Johnny Haeussler, laureate of the Grimme Online Award and head of this project, could certainly have not had it programmed more deftly. The success of Bild blog in no small part also makes clear that citizen journalism works particularly well when it is produced by journalists for journalists or would-be journalists. To that extent, “this blogging business” as such should be thoroughly called into question once again.
