It’s funny that the SMH’s blog section has such a bad rep, when there’s some really good content like Kristen’s there amongst the more clicked-upon dreck. There’s a massive amount of reverse snobbery by regular bloggers towards any blog that is written by someone getting paid by a media company to blog. The best way to counter it is to have a personal blog, preferably before they start a for coin blogging gig so that it shows they’re down with blogging. Though, Fairfax mainly hurts their bloggers by how much they showcase their crap, et al, over the good stuff.
