I have been in the newspaper several times. At least with blogs people realize it's a subjective opinion. People often read newspapers and take them to be some sort of objective truth.
I was in a newspaper article that painted my home life much nicer than it actually is. (Not that it's awful, but that it was an airbrushed perfected version of Nika's life.) And surely enough, everyone in my school -- students and teachers -- came to me saying, "Oh I wish my parents did that! I wish I was allowed to do that!" And most of what was in the article wasn't true. I don't think that either blogs or newspapers (or newstations on the radio or TV for that matter) are completely reliable, but at least with blogs people realize it's someone's opinion. People forget that journalists are opinionated biased people too.
