A NYT article on blogs allowing ‘the little guy’ to battle the traditional press by Katharine Q. Seelye.

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel, or so goes the old saw. For decades, the famous and the infamous alike largely followed this advice.

The Internet, and especially the amplifying power of blogs, is changing that.
