BlogBurst syndicates e-material for newspapers

Media Life - Web shorts: "

Interesting blurring of the lines between bloggers and newspaper content...

Count it as one more step in closing the divide between bloggers and mainstream media, the launch of a new syndication service that will deliver commentary from 600 bloggers for use by newspaper publishers. ... BlogBurst will include headlines and articles that newspaper publishers can use in the news or feature sections of their online and print editions. ... According to BlogBurst chief executive Dave Panos, newspapers will use the service for areas where they may not have dedicated staff, such as entertainment, food, local stories, technology, travel and women's issues. ...bloggers get wider distribution for their writing as well as the resulting increase in traffic to their blog sites."
