Eugene Volokh fields questions on academic blogging. Snippet:

I used to read the stories that the editors of the L.A. Times, the N.Y. Times, or the Wall Street Journal think are worth reading. Now I read blogs -- such as InstaPundit, Mickey Kaus's Kausfiles on Slate, Andrew Sullivan, during the war The Command Post, and so on -- and read the stories (in a wide range of newspapers and magazines) that the bloggers think are worth reading. Blogs provide a much wider range of editorial judgment to choose from, and it turns out that I like the editorial judgment of some bloggers more than I like the editorial judgment of some newspaper editors.
