Blogs officially hit popularity around the beginning of 2004 and it was then that the newspaper giants started doing everything they could to discredit blogs and bloggers as reliable news gatherers and reporters. There were a great many cartoons in the winter and spring of 2004 that depicted the media "dinosaurs" trying not to step on the little cavemen bloggers who were scurrying around beneath their feet.

So ask yourself this: which do you trust more-the newspaper or a blog?

Don't let yourself feel bad if your first thought was "obviously a newspaper is more reliable than a blog." Most people still feel this way, even as blogs have gained notoriety. The truth is that because of the history we all have with newspapers, most of us are more likely to trust one of them than we are to trust an independently run news-based blog. It is mostly out of our need to cling to tradition that many of us feel this way.
