New Kid In The Old School
Nothing probably represents the "old media" quite like the almanac. From Franklin's famous Poor Richard's Almanac to the venerable Farmer's Almanac , they've helped advise generations of Americans on everything from the weather to geopolitical events.
So I was a bit surprised last week when I picked up a copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica Almanac 2004 and found an article on blogs in the Year in Review section (p.14). It was written by Alan Stewart and included references to Andrew Sullivan, Instapundit, and Mickey Kaus.
Blogs rating a place in an almanac? You've come a long way baby.
