As bloggers we open up discussion by the very nature of what we do. This is part of blogging and is a lot of the appeal. Whereas you local paper may go to great lengths to avoid such a situation as they couldn't cope with the amount of feedback. We see the same thing with many businesses that seem to avoid one on one contact and reducing the ease of contacting them. I think you have a good point.

With blogs in particular it is so easy to have a real conversation because of the speed of publishing posts or commenting somewhere. I suspect the interaction with readers can make you feel more exposed than say a (hypothetical) local paper reporter who rarely gets mail but has a much bigger readership. In any case, don't worry if you don't get time to reply to this :) <a href="http://sportcrazy.net/" rel="nofollow">sportcrazy.net</a> I think it’s more a question of the ease of 2-way communication, rather than simply more exposure.
