Many bloggers see Josh Marshall's Polk Award as vindication of their enterprise, writes Noam Cohen -- "that anyone can assume the mantle of reporting on the pressing issues affecting the nation and the world, with the imprimatur of a mainstream media outlet or not." Marshall says of bloggers: "I think of us as journalists; the medium we work in is blogging. We have kind of broken free of the model of discrete articles that have a beginning and end. Instead, there are an ongoing series of dispatches."
