This is a classic example of why the term "open source" was poorly chosen. The forces that power what's usually called the "open source software movement" aren't tied to the creation of software. There's definitely strong ties between the blogging phenomenon and our software movement, but the term "open source" hides them. Lawrence Lessig would prefer that we call blogging an example of the power of "Free culture." If you think that's too grandiose, I'd offer "Free journalism."
