As more blogs are gradually penetrating into and blurring with the mainstream media, the agenda-setting power of traditional media becomes questionable. Who, after all, sets the agenda in this new, two-sided model of mass communication?<br /> I have a lot of works and ideas on that. Also alternative search engines do really matter</p> Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:12:31 -0400 Sito Wa comment 1974 at http://www.techpresident.com
