In my post, I meant to say that cream doesn’t rise in blogs not because bloggers don’t care about important, juicy stories but because we blog for different reasons than newspapers write stories. I’m assuming that there are some stories we do want people widely to know about and that some of those stories are unlikely to be written about by bloggers. If there were no mainstream media, would bloggers cover court decisions, congressional activity, etc., and would they do so in a reliable enough way? (”reliable enough” = sufficient for the public to be able to be informed) I don’t know. Maybe we would, but it’d be a change.

Your point about the inappropriateness of the “cream” metaphor is well taken. We don’t have good ways of judging how widely posts disseminate on the Net. We can count links, but we can’t see how many people have read it, passed it around in email, etc.

And, underneath it there remains an assumption that I _think_ is right: it’s good for a culture to have _some_ basic shared info about its shared concerns.
