Perhaps nowhere else has the influence of the blogosphere been so vividly illustrated than in the case of Professor K.C. Johnson's investigative online reporting and otherwise outright scooping of Old Media in the Duke rape scandal.

From the Chicago Sports Review:

"K.C. Johnson's Durham-In-Wonderland may not be a sports blog per se, but he helped build the case for the sporting world's equivalent of the Trent Lott affair...Johnson, a history professor at Brooklyn College, doggedly investigated the rape case made against three Duke lacrosse players by Durham County district attorney Michael Nifong, until DNA evidence exonerated the players and Nifong resigned from the case amidst charges of ethics violations."

Are you scared, Old Media? You should be. The times, they are a'changing.
