Major League Blogging (from: Steve Rubel)

Om Malik reportsthat Six Apart might have snagged a deal with Major League Baseball tolaunch weblogs. From what I can tell, Om, a reporter with Business 2.0,is using his blog to "break"stories that he hasn’t quite nailed yet. This might be a new modusoperandi for journalists: float an indisputable factoid on a blog (inthis case a DNS record) and then follow it up with the real story oncethe rest of the facts come to light. Pros like Om may even be tryingthis to initiate a collaborative investigation with citizen journalistswho might have more information. Now that is brilliant.
