My Flog was about the coinage or invention of the term plog.  
 
It comes up here Columbia School of Journalism plog - Google  Search   or   
http://tinyurl.com/86tn3b  

only twice just repeating your own claim to coinage with the  misleading 
implication of an imprimatur from that school of  journalism.

 
Your link to The Kicker, a blogger, at Columbia Journalism Review is  fine.
She simply repeats the NYT story about DJ's email to Carr.
Congrats to TCN and DJ for the publicity.
 
BTW: the UPDATE  and hyperlink to Mark Potts which are now  part of her blog 
argue forcefully against the idea of print media shunning the  web.
But that debate is also of no concern to me.  Let the marketplace  decide.
 

Here, in full deja vu, is what your link brings up:

NJ “Plog” “Shuns Web, And Thrives”
By Liz Cox Barrett 
 
The TriCityNews, an Asbury Park, NJ alt weekly with a print run of  10,000, “
is prospering precisely because it ignores the Web,” reports David Carr in 
today’s New York Times.  
“Why would I put anything on the Web?” asked Dan Jacobson, the  publisher 
and owners of the newspaper. “I don’t understand how putting content  on the 
Web would do anything but help destroy our paper. Why should we give  our 
readers any incentive whatsoever to not look at our content along with our  
advertisements, a large number of which are beautiful and cheap full-page  ads?”
A “‘plog’, a blog on paper” is how Jacobson describes his paper, which  
employs three full-time staffers and a part-timer . “A little ray of light” in  
the media beat is how Carr describes the story of the TriStateNews, which  is “
double-digit profitable, and has been growing at a clip of about 10 percent  
a year since it was founded in 1999.” 
A real made-for-David-Carr’s-column story (which didn’t escape the 
publisher,  who emailed the TriCityNews’s good news to Carr).  
UPDATE: Carr’s headline should be the much less  striking: “Local Newspaper 
Shuns Non-Local Information And Thrives,” argues (more or less) Recovering 
Journalist Mark Potts.  “Contrary to what Carr and Jacobson believe, the secret 
to the  TriCityNews’ success probably isn’t that it fiercely eschews the Web.  
It’s that it’s fiercely local.” Way to dim Carr’s little “ray of light.”

  This section contains an explanation of new acronyms and
 terminology, very
  often created by analysts and vendors to give you the impression
 that there is
  a new and interesting development.
 
  Plog - A plog is 1. A Web-based tool used by colleagues to keep
 tabs on
  group projects. 2. An Amazon trademark, which will presumably be
 used to sell
  more books.
 
  Plog: The Virtues of Chitchat - Making I.T. Work - Michael
 Schrage -
  codirector of the MIT Media Lab's eMarkets Initiative - says
 internal Web logs, or
  plogs (project logs), could be the best thing to happen to
 project
  management. But nothing is perfect...
  And from the BlogOh!Pedia Chapeau Blog Awards: A plog is a
 blog that
  combines polling, politics and blogging. Plogging is engaging in
 all three

  I wondered what to call such information:

  Follow-Up Log = FULog or FLog: My private emailers really
 liked this
  one.
  I'll check with my word coinage attorney.
