TEMPE, ARIZ.–Three-fourths of the nation’s largest newspapers now offer blogs on business-related topics, according to a study released today by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism at Arizona State University.
These popular online Web journals written by reporters get breaking news to readers more quickly, according to 60 percent of the business bloggers who responded to the study.However, more than half of respondents also said this also takes away from their regular reporting time.
“Newspapers, reporters and businesses are grappling with the pros and cons of blogging,” said Andrew Leckey, Director of the Reynolds Center, which funded the study. “Our practical research was designed to see how widespread blogging on business topics actually is, what’s propelling it and how it affects the overall news process.”
