Hubert G. Locke: Blogging no substitute for daily newspaper
Seattle Post Intelligencer

Newspapers are the source of information regarding sports scores stock gyrations and the latest in entertainment offerings but what is indispensable is the ability of newspapers and their staffs to expend the time and resourcefulness that it often takes to dig beneath the surface of a seemingly routine event or development and provide the public with independent information and analysis. Were it not for that we would be at the mercy of press releases and news conferences carefully conceived and calibrated to get out an official or the most beneficial view or slant or spin on whatever has taken place.
