Local TV News Hires Blogger

WKRN has hired a blogger to run a new in-house blog. Very cool. Blake Wylie has the details and the relevant commentary.

I was a professional journalist for a decade or so before I became a blogger. I would think it is an indicator of the growing impact of blogging on media that we're now seeing a blogger hired by a news organization.

In recent weeks, The Tennessean has awakened to the existence of the blogosphere and started quoting local bloggers in a few stories about local politics and policy. It's a good trend. The blogosphere, collectively, knows more about everything than the news media does, so it can only benefit readers and news viewers if journalists access some of that expertise.
