Sean Bonner, founder of Metblogs tell Knight Pulse how the LA Metblog community helped discover if one of their own was in jail.
How is a community blog post different than a newspaper article or even a newspaper blog post on the same subject?
If the Twitter updates on Sean's original post (la.metblogs.com/2008/11/06/metblogs-friends-busted-at-prop-8-protest/) are collaborative reporting (are they?), what does this mean for community blogs and authorship? Is this community journalism?
