tony,
it’s one thing for magazines, newspapers, etc. to announce plans for their journalists to write blogs, it’s another story when it comes to how passionately their writers embrace blogs. you have to remember newsrooms are getting smaller so reporters are being asked to do more – whether it’s covering several beats, writing quick hits for the web, doing podcasts, etc. at some point, there just isn’t enough of a carrot (other than, i guess, the right to keep your job) to get writers to do more. that said, the business 2.0 model could work given it’s a monthly magazine but i don’t this “religion” will spread to newspapers until reporters are told it’s an essential part of their jobs.
