Rob Barrett, GM of LATimes.com, is a friend of mine and definitely very pro-blogging. As a blogger and evangelist of citizens’ media, I’m damned glad that he’s in the position he is. I can’t say that the print side of the organisation shares Rob’s views, because I’ve never discussed it with him, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t.

Someone from the L.A. Times interviewed me about my upcoming article in REALTOR Magazine on blogging, but there was no story. Considering they’ve always pooh-poohed blogs, I’m not surprised. This new policy is no surprise, either. It’s not hard to tell the difference between a pro-blog ‘paper and an anti-blog one.

Is this the same LA Times which opened up its editorials to the world through “wikitorials”, to which anyone could contribute? I recall they had to close them down pretty sharpish when the nutcases out there got to work. Well, learning by experience is good, but overegging the pudding maybe is a bit over the top.
