The New York Times has more on the weblog beat, this time about journalists with weblogs and the issues raised thereby:
Journalists who keep Web logs on news sites say their blog writing tends to be looser than their other writing. But they say their Web work is usually edited to some extent.Here at Electrolite, of course, we’re proud to say that 100% of what we run is gone over by an editor in exacting detail. [10:10 AM]Dan Gillmor, a technology columnist for The San Jose Mercury News, has published a blog on the newspaper’s site since 1999. He said his editor usually looks over his entries after they are online, although “if I’m going to post anything that I have even the slightest doubt about, I run it by her first.”
