fail, fail, fail - blogs in print

did ya miss this part, headline?

 

Scribe,

I guess your point is that these bloggers won't get paid since their not on staff?

Like I said, I don't know the business model but I imagine the blogs that sign up to be reprinted will get some sort of money -- whether it's through added ad revenue from getting additional exposure or a flat rate for driving traffic.

To me this is an evolution of our industry. It's another avenue to pursue for quality journalists who have been told their skills and knowledge are no longer needed. Many who have been bought out or laid off start their own blogs anyway. Now those voices can be amplified -- and even rediscovered by the newspapers that stopped paying them in the first place.

 

ugh, they're ... for the nitpickers and non-grammatically challenged

 

just where are the quality journalists included in this?

“We are trying to be the first daily newspaper comprised entirely of blogs and other user-generated content,” he said.

So far, 300 bloggers have given The Printed Blog permission to publish their work for a share of the ad revenue, including small-audience bloggers in Chicago and nationally known blogs like Daily Kos.

I'd say that was a good catch of your own mistake, but you completely missed this one.....

Signed, a nitpicker.
