If a person is really interested in blogging, there's no need for the paper to hold out a supportive hand. That person could create their own blog and if the content is good enough, get an audience. All by his or herself. If a person isn't really interested in blogging in the first place and then the paper decides to offer them a blog ... I'm not convinced the blog is going to be wonderful. Still, it's worth it to try. I agree, but in a way, I think it’s somewhat patronizing.
