The problem with blogs is the lack of editing, The Orchid Thief author says in a podcast quoted by Jim Romenesko: "I still feel that there’s more value in trying really hard to find somewhere where you’re going to write and have to kind of square off with another perspective — somebody who says, ‘This doesn’t make sense to me,’ or, ‘Why are you writing this piece?’ or, ‘This lede just doesn’t engage me.’ A blog just doesn’t offer you that."
