Blogging Bonanza
Some good news for fans of blogs.kxly.com: we’ll be adding more voices to our site in the coming days. Specifically, we have about a half-dozen reporters who have enthusiastically (that may be overstating it) accepted my invitation to write their own blog.
Most reporters here have understandable concerns about expressing their opinions via a blog. After all, aren’t journalists supposed to be objective? My answer is yes, we cover the news objectively. But good journalists can also have opinions, and should be critical thinkers. A blog is the appropriate forum for a reporter to provide greater insight, detail, interesting anecdotes, and yes, opinions, about the stories they cover. I hope you agree, and enjoy the new blogs heading your way. More details later this week…


It would be great to see more of KXLY’s anchors and reporters blogging. It would also be cool to see people with varying backgrounds blogging on the days issues on KXLY.com. I love the improved website and the video page. Keep up the great work.
P.S. Any news on channel 4 taking it’s newscasts full high definition anytime soon?
