Hacks and Bloggers Podcast

Blog Relations has a podcast, "Hacks and Bloggers," with ex-BBC journo Hugh Fraser, and Vietnam-based journo and blogger Graham Holliday , about whether journos should blog.

Holliday says that newspapers should harness the power of blogs, allowing journos to publish interview notes, photos, MP3s, etc and receive feedback.

This raises the question of how many hours a day a journalist would need to work to keep up with comments on the blog, and whether journos' notes would mean much to anyone but them unless they were transcribed.

Holliday will publish his notes for an article I am part of, about blog marketing, that will run in New Media Age. It runs on February 2.

BusinessWeek's Stephen Baker posted about whether journalists should blog their stories while in progress.

For me, I don't care about the in progress stuff. Let me see the finished product, and then give me insight into how it was done.
