Newspapers just don't get it.

Why would you ever need to announce that you are killing a blog?

Much less one called White House Watch?

Sorry Dan Froomkin. Every day more evidence that newspapers just don't get it.

Washington Post Media Communications Director Kris Coratti tells POLITICO that "our editors and research teams are constantly reviewing our columns, blogs and other content to make sure we're giving readers the most value when they are on our site while balancing the need to make the most of our resources. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes features must be eliminated, and this time it was the blog that Dan Froomkin freelanced for washingtonpost.com."

Thanks for the tip, Jim.
