Blogs!!! revisited - Newspapers jump on the train by the boatload

At my place, almost everyone has one, for each different beat we cover; preps, college and pro. Some are better done than others, and those I talk with like them because it gives them a forum to air their views outside the constrains of what a regular beat is.

We've also started having the beat-boys send in everything they have each day for the notebooks. We edit the whole thing, run it online, and run a cut-down version in the paper so it still fits to the page budget.
