Steven Hodson, writing at his Win Extra blog gives us -
Living in a bubble - a blogosphere reality check - an eloquently written piece that every blogger should read…

Things like citizen journalism might be shaking up the business world of media but to Mr. or Mrs Average Citizen it’s just another method that the media provides them with the news. They don’t care about the how or the why. They don’t care about the technology or the raging battle going on in the boxing ring between old style journalists and those frisky new kids on the block sporting fancy websites with constantly updated streams of news and rumours. No .. for the average person on the street the news is still what they see on the television and read in the paper - how it gets there doesn’t matter one iota.

For me, that “reality check” happened early-2006 and my blogging has never been the same since … and I’m glad for it.
