Romenesko points to an interview by Robert Niles in OJR.org with reporter Mark Sando about his Seahawks Insider blog:
Mark Sando, who writes the award-winning Seahawks Insider blog, is asked about the potential risks for a newspaper reporter who blogs. "I think a blog will expose a poor reporter more quickly, while allowing a good reporter to flourish more demonstrably. Also, the comments section of a blog will test a reporter’s restraint. I’ve spent a fair amount of time maintaining the comments section by discouraging crassness, hot-temperedness and overall idiocy."
