Chris Suellentrop reported in Slate on Jan. 14 about the recent controversy over the revelation that the Howard Dean campaign had paid two bloggers for positive coverage during the presidential race.
The controversy surfaced after Zephyr Teachout, former head of Internet reachout for Dean, wrote in Zonkette on Jan. 10 that some prominent bloggers were paid as consultants for the campaign. "To be very clear," Teachout said, "they never committed to supporting Dean for the payment, but it was very clearly, internally, our goal."
Debate has raged about the difference between blogging and strict, traditional journalism, and Suellentrop noted that the two bloggers in question, Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, had disclosures on their Web sites that more or less explained the situation.
