The Internet and the Iraq war: How online Americans have used the Internet to learn war news, understand events, and promote their views
TV still rules the news world, but the online news audience jumps to record levels. Reliance on the Internet is many times greater than after the 9/11 attacks
Blogs gain a small foothold: blogs are gaining a following among a small number of Internet users, but they are not yet a source of news and commentary for the majority of Internet users. Some 4% of online Americans report going to blogs for information and opinions. The overall number of blog users is so small that it is not possible to draw statistically meaningful conclusions about who uses blogs.
War coverage boosts demand for broadband on Internet
[act.:] Demand for news pushes web traffic to record levels: Traffic to news websites has continued to rise amid signs that users hungry for war reports and analysis are rejecting TV in favour of the internet.

Six Degrees of Separation: Today's New York Times had a story on the case of Norton v. Glenn regarding the issue of "reportage privilege." [...]
The case has obvious ramifications for weblog authors. After all, a significant portion of weblog reportage consists of brief mentions of stories that appear in more traditional publications or even references to weblog references to weblog references (and so on) to articles that appear in more traditional publications. If there is no "neutral reportage privilege," the chain of potential defendants could be as long as the number of links to a particular story.

Dispatch From Russia: There are various opinions in Russia's political elite and media about the factors behind America's "imperial" war against Iraq. But one of the most startling for an American draws a sharp parallel with the former Soviet Union's behavior abroad. The Brezhnev Doctrine, as it was called from the Soviet invasion of Prague in 1968 until the rise of Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985, asserted that countries in the Soviet orbit--primarily in Eastern Europe--had only "limited sovereignty," and therefore that Moscow alone had the right to decide the nature of those countries' political regimes. This was, it is pointed out here, an early version of Washington's current doctrine of pre-emptive war and regime change, and thus the talk in Moscow about "Bush's Brezhnev Doctrine."

Rivera gets army boot out of Iraq: Geraldo Rivera, the moustachioed former daytime TV presenter turned war reporter, has been kicked out of Iraq after "compromising" army operations. [...]
