Since The Dallas Morning News’s editorial board Weblog began on July 20, editorial writers have been sharing their views and, in some cases, arguing amongst themselves for the wired world…

Creating a Weblog offers ‘a way for us to demystify what we do and how we do it.’

‘To be interesting, the blog must have a discernible human voice: A blog with just links is a portal.’

‘… we need to drop grandiose claims of being aloof, objective observers and be more transparent about how we do our jobs.’

What benefits do Weblogs bring to journalism? Several.

A reporter accompanies the 101st Airborne during the Iraq War and turns the experience into a book.

‘The transparency of blogging has contributed to news organizations becoming a bit more accessible and interactive ….’

Blogs ‘challenge conventional notions of who is a journalist and what journalism is.’

With a borrowed laptop, rented satellite phone and reader-generated budget, an independent reporter sends back stories from the war.

‘What we found is a conversation fraught with frustration and mistrust.’
