I think Justin Gardner hit a bullseye. I read the article, then the blogspeak and it is akin to an instant random sampling poll. The key to integration, I think, is the integrity of the bolg material that makes it to print. This could be a slippery spot in the road to selective political support. To All,

You could never publish something from a blog as "news", unless of course, what's being said by the blogger <b>is</b> news. More often than not, blog info could only be used in the Op-Ed section,

Basically, in the print edition, you'd collect a bunch of posts from around the blogosphere and print them up, just as you would any other commentary you'd get from the "man on the street" And you'd have the same with the online editions. They already point to posts that link to their article, but it seems like something else is needed. Honestly, it seemed interesting at the time, but probably wouldn’t work.

You want the newspaper to publish blog posts? Or links to them? In its news stories? But most political/national/world affairs blog posts are reactions to what's been in the news. So how does that work? Where does the credibility come in? I’m not sure I get it. You want the newspaper to publish blog posts? Or links to them? In its news stories?
