They R From The Inter Tubes (4#) -

Still in the sandbox, but
already posted on the Net . . .

Bill Keller's latest musings about The Future of Journalism, in light of recent events, such as the M&A of AOL and The Puff Toast.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Keller has an acutely ironic sense of humor, especially since an incident in which he felt aggregated by Ms Stassinopoulos. Full Disclosure: Bill Keller aggregates me ;-)

Yes, he collects me on his Blogrunner aggregator, but it does adhere to the accepted rules of Fair Usage - so, no complaints here.

I took a look at The Puff Toast website today and
saw that the Readers' Blogs occupy the far left column.

Newspapers have adopted a number of diverse approaches to the incorporation of this kind of feature. The Seattle PI provides server space for their reader blogs. In contrast, The Miami Herald took over the SoFlo regional aggregation function from the erstwhile BlogNetNews.

Other newspapers have solicited Topical Blogs
from their readership, like: Wassup Wid Wiener Dogs.

Clearly, I do sympathize with the bloggers and I hope
they are able to find a happier place for themselves.

newspapers, but they don't control NPR radio.

Maybe over at NPR they need some drug rehab.
