Importance of Blogging and Pirates

Some believe bloggers can be as much as a journalist as those who write for the New York Times, others believe this not so. However, in this case, Jason Kottke, blogger, produced by the New York Times, succedes at both. He had found a video of Dutch commandos raiding a Somali Pirates Boat. Along with his explantation of what is happpening in the raid, there is the video. Yes, an actual video of commandos capturing pirates. Sadly, these pirates were nothing like those seen on television from "Pirates of the Carribbean", but it was truly interesting to watch. Blogging, may be the next step to further journalism. This blog, that is posted on the New York Times website, also has links to other website details regarding the raid of the Somali Pirates. If you would like to watch this new step in visual reporting (which is also extremely amazing that this camera was placed on the commando's helmet) then click here. I think the conglomeration of media is finally truly succeeding in merging media and blogs together, especially like the one in the link.
