This analysis of staff-produced blogs at 42 general circulation daily newspapers one week before the 2006 election showed that the blogs contained a small number of postings and failed to create much interaction between bloggers and readers.

A survey of editors at U.S. daily papers shows that almost 30 percent have partnerships with television stations and those partnerships exist across circulation levels. Yet, few papers are committed to convergence.

Although 35 percent in 2007 reported partnerships with television stations, 13 percent had terminated them. As more newspapers gather their own video and audio, the future of cross-media partnerships is uncertain.
