It is interesting to think of bloggers as anchors. Despite the logic behind it, it is difficult for me to conceive of bloggers in that way. “Anchor” to me connotes someone who is a gatekeeper for an an entire, large-scale news organization. Most bloggers are solitary enterprises, definitely not gatekeepers for anyone but themselves. They serve an extremely valuable role, but as “anchors?” I don’t really think so.
