Pitts: Blogs in Newsroom

From the Dead Parrot Society, Ryan Pitts writes of how one newsroom plans to incorporate weblogs into its coverage of the Saddam Hussein capture. To summarize, excerpts from foreign blogs will be used as react material.

Random thought. Weblogs, to the extent that they submit to standards of verification, are an open source of reporting. There's no reason that every other paper in the country couldn't be mining local, national, and international weblogs to get personal stories for their own stories.

Don't quite know where I'm going with that, but something to think about.
