While we are all busy asking why newspapers should blog, let’s take a minute to ask why magazines that call themselves newspapers should blog.

Yes, the Economist has joined the blogosphere with an economics blog, Free Exchange, and an American politcs blog, Democracy In America.
The Economist journalist Megan McArdle, known to bloggers as Jane Galt, explains all on her personal blog:

After 160+ years of superlative print journalism, we’re bringing our mad skillz onto the web. I’ll be spending a significant portion of my work time blogging there, which means more scintillating economic bloggery for you—plus all my super-smart, witty, and oh-so-very-British colleagues.
