Times Free Press "MetroChatt" Blog
Well, hot damn. Did anyone else notice this today?
It would seem that after a few weeks of exclusively music-related blogging, the Times Free Press is starting a real, live news blog. It looks as though the blogging will be done by the TFP's young guns, Michael Davis and Herman Wang.
I'm of the mindset that blogging by more mainstream media outlets is a good thing - it opens a new outlet for communication, especially to younger folks who may not take a newspaper subscription. Hopefully the MetroChatt blog will evolve into something like No Silence Here, a reporter's blog at the Knoxville News-Sentinel, whose Web site the TFP would do well to emulate, as an aside.
So, anyway, welcome the Times Free Press fully into the world of the blog. Here's hoping it becomes a lively and functional outlet for news.
