The blogosphere wants to know who the people on this afternoon’s panel reads. Some telling answers. The professional journalists on the panel — Helen Boaden of the BBC, George Brock of the Times, and MSN.com’s Andrew Hawken — named-dropped only other journalists and industry-interest sites.

But non-journalist blogger Rachel North, who blogs at Rachel from North London, named some of the big hitters of the British political blogosphere: Chicken Yoghurt, Europhobia, Tim Worstall, and Guido Fawkes, among others.

If big media wants to engage with readers, find new sources and gain all all the wonderful benefits of “We Media” that we’re hearing about today, you have to actually engage with people from outside professional journalism, especially because many journalists’ blogs are actually nothing special.
