The folks behind Dutch blogging service Startlog.nl have announced they will be launching a print newspaper next month filled with content from Dutch blogs.
The new paper will initially have a print run of 30,000 copies of 24 color pages in tabloid format, and will be distributed for free throughout the country. Startlog.nl said that they hopped to attract enough advertisers to be able to pay bloggers who are featured in the paper for future editions.

Haha, that is the dumbest idea ever – lets take a searchable, cross referenced, interactive conversation that people can take part in – and make it static, linear and oh, while we’re at it lets kill a bunch more trees.
Losers. Jeesh. Ah well, maybe the paper will be optimised for spliff-making purposes. Smokin’ blog man, whoa.. look at the colours..
i think its a great idea. the public will be more aware of the concept of blogs.
