Just tripped across this example of first-person blog journalism from last week. Blogger Andy Baio reported on the elderly driver who careened through a farmers market just outside Baio’s office window in Santa Monica, Calif., on July 16. He had been walking down that street 20 minutes before.
Baio described “the dead and dying” lying in the street and relayed first-hand reports from office co-workers who saw the driver. He also posted a map of the accident scene, laid out a detailed chronology of events, and pointed to media coverage and photographs of the bloody scene.
