The Rolla Daily News (a mid Missouri, smaller paper) attempted to do some blogging, but it didn’t end up lasting. I hear there are many newspapers that are paying people only for blogging. School newspapers have got into it too, like The Missouri Miner (www.themissouriminer.com), but I suppose that is no surprise as students are in a generation that grew up with blogging.</p> I noticed the trend you are talking about recently.
