A Cry for Help

The Providence Journal Sports sections has rolled out a new feature in the past few weeks: a "print blog." I assume (yes, yes…) that this comes from the excellent and well-wired sports editor Art Martone, but something seems to have been lost in translation. For instance, the B in blog is short for "web".

Now, the feature is excellent. Tom Curran writes it in perfect blog-style, inserting observations and behind the scenes stuff. But "print blog"?! I'm sure this has some sort of cosmic significance for the medium, but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

You can read some entries here and here. They really are good (as is the rest of the ProJo sports section, Jim Donaldson's negative nabobisms notwithstanding).

Print blog? Really?
