I think the shelf life on the term "traditional media" is about to expire. When newspaper and television reporters blog and bloggers are going on TV and writing newspaper columns, I think it's more accurate to simply make a distinction between the "professional" and the "independent" media. There might be better terms of distinction, but the point remains the same.
To that end, here's a link to my article for CQ Politics on how bloggers have gone from being fringe to actually having more access than their traditional media counterparts at the Democratic National Convention.
