Best-Bloggin’ Newspapers

Posted by on March 13 at 18:04 PM

NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen has offered up some interesting observations on the merits and foibles of newspaper blogs (via Media Bistro). Here’s hoping we don’t start losing readers to the Spokesman Review.

I would take these comments more seriously if they didn't rely heavily on Mike Phillips, former publisher of the Bremerton Sun. After Phillips presided over a slow and steady bleed of the paper's editorial staff, dooming the paper's once above-average local coverage to mediocrity or worse, Scripps called him up to headquarters to see if he could do the same to the rest of the chain. Yeah, a real innovator.

Note to Jen Graves:
Get over yourself. You are not in "competition" with the Spokesman Review, the PI, Times or ANY other daily newspaper. Weekly, yes. Others no. Sorry to break the news to you, jenny.
PS: You call a bulletin board of rants a "blog"?

Jen Graves didn't slog Rosen's article, I did.

Of course we're not in competition with a Spokane newspaper. I was simply giving them props for being mentioned favorably in a piece from the NYU School of Journalism.
