The bastion of the mainstream print media in Newfoundland and Labrador leaps to the defence of blogs, specifically the political blogs in the province.
Well, parts of it were more like damning with faint praise.
And those were the parts that tried to discuss blogs generally while really talking about specific types of blogs and not really getting it right anyways.
Ah well, let's save the discussion of blogs and the conventional news media for another post.
For now, let's just note that this editorial - as thankful as bloggers are to see it - was really about an ongoing pissing match between the Telegram and an apparently very frustrated former Telegram reporter who now works cranking out another newspaper from offices on Harbour Drive.
Still, it's fun to read the two offering views on new media. It almost makes for a Sally Field at the Oscars kinda moment.
Well, not exactly.
But you get the idea.
