This could be an entirely new blog that starts from scratch, or an established journal that evolves into a blog.

Either Wiki or Blog?

Frankly, this comes into conflict with the crowd who think everything's going to turn into a wiki.

Personally, I'd be happy with microfilm.

not mutually exclusive...

These things (traditional, professional print journals v. Blogs) are hardly mutually exclusive. There's the LITA Blog, but LITA also puts out its print publication which I hope will continue as well, for example.

Exclusionary, binary thinking is teh st00pid ;-D
