Do you like blogs on newspaper sites?

Mark Glaser

by Mark Glaser, June 1, 2006

Newspapers are in a tough spot. Their main income comes from a printed paper, which is losing readership and relevance among a younger audience. But newspaper websites are doing quite well in readership and in revenues. So the innovation for newspapers is happening on their websites, which are becoming more than just a place for repurposed print stories. Now major newspaper websites include video, podcasts, forums, and even blogs. But CNET recently reported that newspaper-site blogs have been a mixed bag, with blogs that are boring or contain leftover material not fit for print.

So here's your chance to set the record straight. Do you read newspaper blogs regularly? Which ones do you like? Or do they turn you off? Do you even know about them? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and I'll run the best ones in next week's Your Take Roundup.
