Wired News: Dial 'H' for Hostage "It's quite natural to regard LiveJournal as a news feed," said Anton Nossik, one of the founders of LiveJournal's Russian community, and chief editor and CEO of Lenta.Ru, the country's leading online news service.

He said the site has become an especially important source of information for people living in remote locations, such as Siberia and the Far East, where established news agencies seldom send reporters.
