Don't count this entry as necessarily part of the assignment, but I just had to post this as an addendum to my previous post about conflict of interest, Jeff Gerstmann, Gamespot, etc.
This article is from N'Gai Croal and the Level Up blog which I tried to model my own blog after. His writeup of the Gerstmann situation and the larger relationship between publishers and the gaming enthusiast press is absolutely amazing...poetic and power...and is an excellent example of how powerful blogs can be. Yes, it's long, full of jargon, in-jokes, and references that you probably wouldn't get if you didn't follow gaming news, but it's incredibly insightful. And most of all, it's proof that N'Gai is an amazingly talented writer.
