Well, bloggers made Ben Silverman's list of PR losers last week, but when it was all said and done, the blogosphere scored ...

... a number of huge PR wins in 2004.

"The people behind the scenes made the traditional media think twice about whether blogging is just a fad. If only more people read blogs, and if only the media could better define blogs.

Worth noting: In 1847, New York had sixteen daily newspapers to serve a population of approximately 400,000. Not much has changed, the printing press is just digital now."
