For instance <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_page_id=1965&in_article_id=442064" rel="nofollow">a recent article in the Daily Mail</a> concerning a schoolboy who had reportedly turned down £8.5 million from the BBC for his rather insipid news website, had enraged some readers, who were angry at such a blatant waste of license payers money. On contacting the BBC I was assured that no approach was ever made by them for this child's website. Whether he was attention seeking or deluded, I know not, but my attempts to reassure readers via the "blog" facility were rejected.

Most newspaper "blogs" are columns with comments. Not the same at all. Greenslade and da Fink are honourable exceptions. Most newspaper “blogs” are columns with comments.
