A journalist's advice for bloggers (well, in a way)

Tom Coates of plasticbag.org has dug up an old piece of journalism by Keith Waterhouse telling people how to write opinion columns in newspapers.

I’ve said for a little while that most blogging is little more than uncontrolled examples of columns found in the op-ed pages of newspapers. This seems to prove the point.
