Bloggers, reporters can all get along
The Toronto Star has an amusing story about a reporter being scooped on her own story after interviewing some bloggers.
No sooner had I mailed an interview request to one leading mommy blogger than she posted the news that she'd been talking to "a reporter" on her site. And since my query about why she blogs had got her thinking, she decided to post a long and thoughtful answer, too.
At the end of the article, it says the reporter, Andrea Gordon, will be blogging at thestar.com in 2006.
And she should. A blog is a great way for reporters to communicate and even develop relationships with potential sources. With newspapers putting more and more resources into the Internet, turning reporters into bloggers is an easy way to gain readers who prefer interaction.
