Mizzou's Bentley finds vibrant blog activity at KTVI Fox St. Louis

MGP-JTM alum Clyde Bentley spent a couple of days at the Fox network affiliate in St. Louis,  KTVI, and appears to describe a vibrant blog ecosystem which he says is not really political but is more populated by, in his words, "are family-oriented moms."  He says MyFoxSTL has 13,600 registered users, more than 9,000 of whom have active blogs.  The station's website breaks them down by overall topics like entertain, news, weather, traffic, sports and music. A quick look at the news blogs suggests many are far from anything that has been historically called journalism.
