Of blogs and newspapers ...

... Norm Geras declares, Long live the blogosphere.

"... blogs and bloggers in the press domain are constrained in ways that independent bloggers aren't, and it's a domain, theirs, that isn't freely open to entry. "

I think the problem with many newspaper blogs is that the bloggers just do their newspaper thing as a blog - an online column, as it were. Real blogging is not quite the same as that. As for constraints, I am less constrained on my blog than I ever would be in the paper. I started this blog because I liked reading blogs and wanted one of my own and thought that connecting it to my job might make it interesting to others.
