Newspapers Blog and Feed

Posted on February 28, 2005

More and more newspapers are catching on to the blogging and RSS feed trend. Since nearly all newspapers have an online presence they should definitely have at least one RSS feed (and probably several) -- even if it means people click directly over to a particular article and not through the newspaper's homepage.

As for blogs, newspapers have been approaching them very differently. The News-Record.com is looking at a virtual townhall approach.

The Oregonian has blogs from Oregonian staff as well as neighborhood blogs updated by local residents. MSNBC has a variety of different blogs on subjects ranging from politics to science. And The Guardian's new blog, the Observer Blog, offers a combination of several web features including frequent blog entries, a link log and category tags. The Associated Press now offers news feeds for a number of topics including: Politics, Business, Sports, Technology and Strange.
