BLOG Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World

According to Hewitt, Internet bloggers will eventually cause book publishing to disappear--though not, one assumes, before Hewitt cashes in on his current book deal. Hewitt's premise leans to the right: Conservative truth-telling bloggers (a blog is a Web site offering daily commentary) will cause the liberal elite mass media empire to crumble. If you're looking for a nonpartisan take on the social and economic effects of blogging, this is NOT the book. Hewitt's rat-a-tat-tat narrative approach works on radio (at times he sounds like Dan Ackroyd in DRAGNET) but becomes tiresome over four CDS. The book's appendices and a few other extras are included on a bonus CD-ROM. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 05]
