Are blogs adding to the journalist's workload? it is very easy to stack up an enormous amount of activity that then begins to erode what you can actually do. You then stop being a journalist and start simply being a transmitter.
Journalists - if there's a better blogger, you're 'screwed': "It's quite obvious if you're a professional journalist that if you're not very good, you're screwed," [Ben Hammersley] said.
"At some point your editor will start saying - why are we paying you this much money when Joe Bloggs the pyjama blogger is writing comment that is better than yours?"
The reticence of some traditional journalists to engage with blogging, he said, could be to avoid highlighting their own shortcomings.
