A few days ago, one of our professors (a former White House correspondent for USA Today) introduced us to another WH correspondent for the Houston Chronicle. What made Julie Mason different was the fact that she writes a blog for the paper - and can actually claim to be the only blogger with White House press credentials.
Basically, this woman is my hero.
But she also reinforced the idea that journalists are starting to take blogs seriously. If you do a little research, you'll find that serious newspapers are enlisting journalists to cover the news blog-style.
Not all of the blogs are that fabulous - a lot of them just seem to be briefer forms of a news story simply placed on a cleverly titled blog. But I guess what makes them legit is that readers can have access to a reporter to comment and tell them what their stories are missing.
Some of my favorites are The Tribune's "The Swamp" and the NYT's "The Lede." However, if you want a good laugh and want to see a reporter refer to President Bush as "Bushie," please head to Beltway Confidential, where Munson blogs "Washington until it begs for mercy."
