Why Can’t a Newspaper Be More Like a Blog?

“Veteran online journalist Barry Parr has wrapped up a five part series entitled ‘Why Can’t a Newspaper Be More Like a Blog?’ on his weblog, MediaSavvy. It’s a thought-provoking read. I’m not sold on what he has to say about RSS (it needs more users) and trackbacks (porn spammers exploit them), but the points he’s making ó be part of the ‘Net, not just on the ‘Net ó are right on.”
