The mainstream media may have the “credibility” (undeserved though it often is)… but bloggers have brought stories to light in cases where the big boys played naught but catch up.

The age issue of the Chinese Olympic gymnasts may have been swept under the rug by the IOC, but because of relentless pounding and excellent investigative research by a blogger (Stryde Hax) the story broke into the mainstream which had initially let it slide. Definitely a place for the online watchdogs in the Pulitzer lineup.

well I suspect that that Pulitzer prize committe is made up of the equivelent of Buffers in blazers that run sports organiastions.

And if the US medias like the UK its a tight closed shop with no nasty bloggers allowed. look at the way the Guardians Media section is totaly obsessed with newspapers.
