dotcomscoop

is running a nice little
interview

with rusty, of
k5

fame, where he discusses online communities, blogging and journalism:

“First, we’re already seeing the most wired reporters discovering the power of the blog, and rapidly becoming addicted to the kind of instant feedback and massively expanded informational networks they can provide. Watching a reporter start to blog is like watching a sugar addict stumble into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Most of them immediately “get it” as soon as they open themselves up to the people they had always previously been talking at. I think this will continue, because I think reporters are just like that. The good ones will never pass up an opportunity to increase their reach.”
