Caught via the Blogware blog—Blogware -- How Journalists Use Blogs—the reference to this longer article—How Journalists Use Blogs | MediaChannel.org. Here are the four ways they say journalists use blogs:
- Journalists use blogs as tickler files when researching stories.
- Journalists use blogs as sounding boards
- Journalists use blogs as digests of the day's news.
- Journalists don't "flog the blog" - they see blogs as useful websites.
Given that 51% of journalists are looking to blogs for info and scoops, these four tactics make sense to me. 
Aren't journalists such another breed of the info-gluttons that bloggers are? Granted they publish on dead trees and other places, but I use blogs in the same way. Hmm, does that make a journalist a blogger? Or a blogger a journalist? ;-).
