Well not exactly. To an NPR reporter’s surprise, the blogger attendees at Yearly Kos didn’t quite fit the demographic expected. As reported, many of the attendees “didn’t really look all that ‘bloggy,’ whatever that means. With their gray hair and distinct lack of tattoos they seemed somehow older, or less tech savvy and or just more socially adjusted than people who would be showing up at a blogging conference.” 

Stand by NPR and other traditional media. Blogs will continue to attract mainstream participants – afterall a blog is just a technological interface that allows non-techie people to publish online. That is why they are so powerful and will play a part of the transformation of media. 

Democratic heavy weights considered all that “blogoshere blather” important enough to show up and go through the expected “meet and greets” and speaking engagements. What politician would miss such a darling media event. Those attending included Mark Warner - former Virginia Governor, Bill Richardson, New Mexico Governor, retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, and Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader from Nevada.

"The media elite has failed us," says Daily Kos founder, Markos (thus the "kos") Moulitsas. "The political elite has failed us." Read the entire story at the Washington Post.
