Newspaper editor launches blog
Cleveland Plain Dealer editor Doug Clifton became the first editor of a major metropolitan newspaper to launch his own Weblog today."As a lifelong consumer of the written word displayed on paper, the prospect of talking to readers by way of a 'blog' is a little unnerving," he writes in his opening post. "I've decided to tip toe into these electronic waters because I recognize that to ignore change is to be consumed by it. At The Plain Dealer we communicate with our readers a number of ways, the pages of the paper being the most obvious....
"In subsequent blogs I hope to chat about how the paper makes decisions and respond to some of your comments. Obviously I won't be able to respond to everything said in this forum. But I will certainly read everything and learn from it in the process."
We can't wait to see how it goes...
Hopefully other editors will follow Clifton's lead.
