Amused: I can only speak for the Eagle-Tribune blogs. There are several older inactive blogs on the site. The way we serve up the blogs is we aggregate them to a main blogs site, so if a blog is inactive, it simply doesn’t post there. We do leave inactive blogs up, but there are a few that at this point should be taken off the menu. We had a push at the end of last year and beginning of this to get staffers blogging. As is typical, some stuck, some didn’t.

If you stopped off in North Andover, I hope you asked this guy why the local Alabama Pension Fund dailies have such outdated blogs on their sites. They literally go hundreds of days without posting on some of them, although sports is generally current and Gloucester is reasonably current with its community blogs (although the editor’s blog hasn’t been updated in 187 days)

Noah: I’m going to head out to North Andover as soon as class is out. So maybe you can grab me beforehand. I’m not going to be able to stay more than a couple of minutes afterwards, unfortunately.

In fact, Dan, if you’ve got 10 min. you can spare anytime tomorrow, would love to get you in our video studio for a short interview/discussion.

Also, do check out (if you haven't already) this blog post about what happened to the Seattle P-I crew seven months out. Fascinating ... and scary.

Pop into the newsroom at The Eagle-Tribune if you get a chance.
