One more reason why journalists should blog
The main reason why I started this blog was to open up conversations with readers in a new way. But there’s also been a side benefit: News tips.
Thanks to Google, two tipsters recently found my Web site and gave me a call, pointing me to story ideas that certainly look interesting. If the tips pan out, these kernels of information could become great stories. So that in itself is a fantastic incentive for journalists to set up their own blogs.
To the folks who called me, thanks for the heads up.
