  1. Hot diggity.  Thanks Susannah!  Looks like a very interesting read.  I wonder how these “reporter blogs” differ from other blogs.

  2. Obviously, the news are original but the comments are different possibly that makes the whole story different.

  3. Newspapers would be absolutely crazy not to host a blog on their websites or even within the physical paper.

    Aside from the obvious benefits of having your readers getting more involved, opinions on the latest news are always a good read, especially when coming from somebody reputable.
