In the mood to blog? Let's hear it

Sound off by sending a message to Bob via newsthinking.com and I'll post it here. Here's a suggested topic: In your newsroom, are you required to contribute to your paper's website? Does it mean you have to stop reporting and write because the web site editor wants it NOW? Does that skew the quality of your reporting? Does it worsen the quality of what you turn in for the print edition at 5 p.m.? Is there a method of rebellion? Or is there a silver lining, such as making you come to terms with the writing process earlier in the day?

REMEMBER:

"You gotta sing like you don't need the money/
Love like you'll never be hurt/
You gotta dance like nobody's watchin'/
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work."

--Guy Clark
