Top 50 people shaping Britian's online journalism

London's Press Gazzette has named the top 50 people shaping Britian's online journalism.

No. 1 on the list was Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corp. His "digital immigrant" speech at the American Society of Newspaper Editors may come to be seen as a turning point of online journalism, the paper said.

Among the other's that I recognized are Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist who was No. 3; Tom Anderson and Chris DeWolfe, founders of MySpace who were No. 12 and 13; and Matt Drudge, publisher of The Drudge Report who was No. 27.

I'd have to list Wonkette founder Ana Marie Cox who parlayed her blogging into a job as Washington editor of Time.com.
