Don't you think someone is making a mistake to use the terms "all Internet Users" and "People" interchangeably? I wouldn't make too much of it except (from Will's recent posts I get the sense he has the same feeling) that in the edu blog world (aka the echo chamber) we run the risk of solipsism. Liz,

I think most journalists are still deciding how they are going to adapt. As resources begin to shift around I think a lot of journalists will be blogging more.

The Pew figures in January of 2005 (http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/144/report_display.asp) were that 27% of Internet users read blogs. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we were up to 37% by now.
