[Air-l] help with political blogging research

A colleague is advising a senior capstone thesis in political blogging and its impact, and had the following questions after finding few academic publications. I'd appreciate any suggestions for her, off-list or on.

Are there major academic articles about political blogs? In what journals? Are there major theories that we should consider? What criteria do you apply to blogs when analyzing them?
