Blogs have undoubtedly changed the way that a lot of people communicate, but I'm convinced that editorial letters (in both newspapers and magazines) still get a hell of a lot of eyeballs. <BR/><BR/>I write editorial letters and I write blog comments. What's the difference? I'm commenting on articles in different media. People are still going to write/read editorial letters as newspapers and magazines continue their transition online. (Or are you making a bigger argument that professional writing in these types of publications is going to go away too?)<BR/><BR/>I think we're both just expressing personal opinions. Unless you have some empirical data to back up your death watch! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
