The difference is between Blog being TYPED Media genre and Blog INCLUDING type Media genre. In the first case, you're only speaking for the Blog type itself, which, as Chris pointed, is the correct thing to do.

Blogs, collectively, are a media genre; Daily Kos is a blog, not a media genre. Broadcast television is a media genre; your local NBC affiliate is a television station, not a media genre.

2007-08-23T02:04:16.0000Z jeff http://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/jeff <p>If you want to create a new type "Blog", you should make it first in your private domain or on Sandbox. I'm not sure what our protocol for moving private schemas to the public domains is (if we have one), but a private domain is definitely the place to start.<br /> <br /> In terms of property inheritance, there is none -- a schema in one of the "public" domains has no particular special properties that a published schema in a private domain lacks, AFAIK.</p> http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000005b8798e
