In the case of the Palm Beach Post, C.B. Hanif seems to be a rock solid apologist for the paper with a distinct conflict of interest being a long time editorial writer for that paper, and NEVER corrects anything that would be a decided embarrassment for same.

Who is the ombudsman speaking for?

The point here isn't so much the blog or blogging per se, but who the heck is one's audience? If you are writing today and not thinking of your digital readers, I think it is a mistake. Who is the ombudsman speaking for? If they don't think about how electronic audiences read, can they be their ombudsman?
