And the strategy is? Mercury News renews classes to teach people to blog

The Mercury News and its East Bay editions—the Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times—is still in the business of teaching people how to use the Internet. “The world is going digital and you can too! Ever thought about starting a blog but were unsure of how to begin?,” says the newspaper’s press release announcing a new round of classes in Oakland and Walnut Creek. One is “Blogging for Beginners”; the other “Tablets 101.”
