Umfrage von Henry Copeland [ Blogads Weblog ] zum "unbekannten Wesen" der Blog-Leserinnen und -Leser:

Whether on the left or right, blog readers have traits in common that often are absent in today's public spaces: passion and initiative. Sharing these traits, blog readers of all political stripes seem more alike than different.

Likewise, blog readers are united in their apathy about traditional news sources: 82% of blog readers say that television is worthless or only somewhat useful as a source of news and opinion. 55% percent say the same about print newspapers. 54% say the same about print magazines.

Meanwhile, 86% say that blogs are either useful or extremely useful as sources of news or opinion. 80% say they read blogs for news they can't find elsewhere. 78% read because the perspective is better. 66% value the faster news. 61% say that blogs are more honest. Divided on so much else, blog readers appear united in their dissatisfaction with conventional media and their rabid love of blogs.
