Blogs.... they're hard to miss if you are an Internet user.
From CNN to the New York Post to opinionated individuals... seems like everyone is chiming in.

"they like to use it because it's an alternative for news and information"-Dr. Daekyung Kim, Blog Researcher

Dr. Daekyung Kim is a professor of mass communications at Idaho State University.
Last week Dr. Kim received the prestigious Broadcast Education Association award for his research paper on political blog readers.
The paper examines why political blogging is so attractive to Internet users.

With her recent win in Pennsylvania...Hillary Clinton is raising more funding for her campaign...but that may not be necessary... the voters are turning to the Internet.

"I mean it's different and I like to see what other people think and also have my input with issues I care about." -Jenna Brown, Blogger

I got on line to see what the big hype was all about. Besides being easily accessible... blogs give people a place to share their opinions and mass media is noticing the change. That's why many network TV stations and newspapers have made their own versions but Dr. Kim says it's not the end of news as we know it.
With abundant technology...blogs have made their grand entrance.
