Old Media Habits Die Hard As we see below, Washington Post reporters—and reporters for all newspapers—don't fact-check. Here's another bemusing habit of the old media: It still doesn't get the web.

Consider this example from the New York Times, where sportswriter Lynn Zinser writes an article about Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Pat Neshek and his blog, which he used to campaign for All-Star votes.

Only one problem: Zinser doesn't actually bother to mention the blog's name or URL.

Granted, there's a hyperlink (a one-word link, eight paragraphs down) in the online version of the story, but why not include it in the paper?  ¶ 7:18 AM
