Glaser on newspapers and blogs
Mark Glaser, the PBS columnist who writes a blog called Media Shift, recently asked for comments on what newspaper blogs people preferred, and what kinds of suggestions bloggers might have for newspapers thinking of adding them, and he pulled that together in a recent post. He also got some comments from Jay Rosen, a prominent journalism teacher and blogger:
Rosen has three theories on ways that blogs can work in a newspaper setting: 1) find the fanatics in the newsroom and let them write about topics the newspaper never writes about; 2) create blogs for reporters who can engage their audience to help in the reporting; and 3) recruit people from the community with “drive and knowledge and moxy” to blog, similar to what Silverman has accomplished at the Houston Chronicle.
