Alastair Chivers is a Scottish university student (Robert Gordon University) who is doing a dissertation on journalism and blogging; as part of the study, he's put up some questionnaires that he's hoping users and bloggers might answer:

The intention of this project is to look at what role weblogs of a journalistic nature play in a user's consumption of news online. Are journalistic weblogs used as a sole news source by internet users? Is the popularity of these sites increasing like blogging in general? What inclines people to find and regularly read journalistic weblogs?
