Blogging: a true reporter's calling

Miami Herald columnist Fred Grimm, in his new blog The Grimm Truth, makes a statement about journalism and blogging that strikes true to me, Blogging, Circa 1968:

There's similar coverage at Mahalo: Sarah Palin . The Anchorage newspaper, of course, compiled all their news coverage of Palin on their website, at Gov.
