Chicago bloggers appear on "Chicago Tonight"
Andrew Huff (Gapersblock.com), Margaret Lyon (Chicagoist.com), and Kevin O'Neil (CTATAttler.com)are three Chicago Bloggers who appeared on "Chicago Tonight" recently and discussed what kind of news they cover and why they think their audiences read their blogs. These three are good articulate bloggers and have some sense of news versus gossip, so this a good clip (it is a video clip.)
Margaret Lyon talks about the closing of Cheetah Gym as an example of how a story takes hold at a site like Chicagoist.com. 
"We bloggers have a responsibility to get the facts right," says O'Neil.
The discussion of bias and transparency is clear and makes several good points.
