Henry Farrell, an astute blogger and cyber-politics prof from at the University of Toronto, is co-writing a paper on politics and blogging, and he's looking for answers to a simple survey from journalists, columnists, commentators, producers, or editors for newspapers, magazines, or television stations.
1) How many blogs do you read a day?
2) Please name the three blogs you read most frequently. [What if you read less than three? Then just name the ones you do read.]
3) Why do you read the blogs you read? In other words, what makes those blogs worth checking out on a regular basis?
4) Have you ever read something on a blog that affected your decision-making on what to air/publish? If the answer is yes, can you give an example?
5) How much influence do you think blogs have on political discourse? A lot, a little, or none at all?
