Hans Kullin, the author of the Swedish media blog Media Culpa (yes, it's English-language), has just published some statistics on newspaper blogs in Sweden. He counted 42 blogs from 17 Swedish newspapers. Sixty percent of them don't allow comments, and some even lack permalinks. Funny, the comment he got from fellow blogger Pelle: "Well, I ain't suprised. If you have looked at the blog who won the Swedish Internetworlds competetion about being the best in the country it doesn't feature comments either. Therefore it must be hard for the newspaper to get a view about what a blog really is." So, newspapers, be aware: if you're being pitied by your potential audience for not being well-informed, how are you going to convince them that your Web sites are the place to look for news?
