While this blog clearly falls in the amusment/self-indulgent categoary, bloggers are most certainly journalists.
I think this post on the SF MetroBlog is such a good example of local news reporting/gathering. Personal observations with links to diverse other sources for news, personal accounts, and images.

When I want to know more about an incident (anywhere), I check the local papers for the "official" blurb, then I check the local blogs. There's always more to know.
