Has Hell Frozen Over? or The Journal Has a Blogger!

Move over Greensboro News & Record, it looks like the Winston-Salem Journal is finally entering the fray with an in-house blog that is set to launch next week.

The Journal's managing editor Ken Otterbourg is going to be the paper's guinea pig, and I'm glad to see it.  I hope he does as well as his counterpart in Greensboro has done and I'm looking forward to his efforts.  I really hope that the blog has comments and an RSS feed, because if it doesn't the whole exercise will be a glorious waste of time.  In the Q&A with Ken (since it's online I feel comfortable using his first name although we've never met) he says that readers will be able to ask questions, but that could be done by email so I'm not assuming anything.  I'm sure, though, that if Joe has anything to say about it they will have comments and feeds aplenty.

In the Q&A Ken also mentions that the paper will be launching more blogs in the near future.  Maybe hell is freezing as we speak.

Welcome to the sphere Ken and good work Joe.
