Can blogs save business journalism?

That’s the headline of a post I discovered tonight on a blog coming out of Houston. I’m not sure who the author of this blog is, or what his background is, but his name is apparently Greg judging from the name of his blog.

If you want to read his comment on whether blogs can save business journalism, it can be found here. I don’t agree with what he says, particularly about the currently quality of business journalism. But I do think he has a point in that people who write on blogs seems to be writing more critically about their subjects than what readers see in print. Writing for a blog seems to give writers more of a sense of freedom.

Also note that this posting by “Greg” is more than a year old. Still, I find it interesting and thought-provoking.
