Should this reporter blog?

A veteran foreign correspondent-turned-web-guru told me yesterday that he thinks I should be writing a blog. He said there's no reason not to; a lot of reporters are doing it.

Typically I don't put myself into my stories, so it's not an intuitive thing to register my reflections as I'm reporting. Still, if those reflections might interest people and enlighten some on the process by which your news is compiled and produced, to that end I'm interested in giving it a shot.

I'm on deadline today, though, so a lengthier entry will have to wait.

Until then...
