Lions and Lambs Lying Down Together?

Craig Westover reports on a meeting between the Missionary Man of the blogosphere and some of the local mainstream media.

The Hewitt-Beinart Debate wasn't the only stop on Hugh Hewitt's visit to the Twin Cites. Earlier in the day in met with The Pioneer Press Opinion Page Editor, Art Coulson, and Associate Opinion Page Editor, Mark Yost and myself. This was not a formal meeting for Hugh to plug his book "Blog" (but I will) or for the Pioneer Press Editorial Board to grill Hugh for an editorial piece on blogs and blogging.

It was an informal discussion with a very specific agenda -- What is the best way to integrate the concept of blogs and blogging into the structure of the Pioneer Press? How might the Pioneer Press move forward to incorporate the "new media" within its current business model? How can the Opinion Page today, take advantage of the talent and resources available in the existing Minnesota blogging community?
