Saskatoon StarPhoenix - -- Power to the people: Bloggers wield media punch

Saskatoon StarPhoenix - canada.com network: Darlene Fichter, a data librarian at the University of Saskatchewan and an expert on blogging, says the relationship between bloggers and mainstream media is fast becoming a more complicated one: "At first, mainstream media tended to discount blogs.
