Center releases study on newspaper business blogs

A study released today finds that business blogs have not caught on at smaller publications, that they often focus on local issues, and that topics varied broadly without a particular emphasis.

The study, commissioned by the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism, appears to only have covered blogs hosted by newspapers, not other business blogs such as TechCrunch and Sharesleuth.

Here is the press release and a PowerPoint of the findings.

    We have a business-related blog at OrlandoSentinel.com, on tourism, and did a seasonal one on shopping/holidays. But last year, we also started a business newsletter than is e-mailed to people, with links to the site. Anyone else know of newspapers that do email business newsletters — and how they are doing?
