I’ve always wondered about, and been faintly suspicious of, the Spokesman-Review‘s interest in and promotion of the local bloggers. While most of the mainstream media seems to be confused by or scared of bloggers here is a local paper encouraging it. So I went to the meeting tonight to find out they whys and wherefores.
Well, it’s because they get that blogs are a fantastic source of information because someone, somewhere knows exactly what’s going on and what it’s all about. The trick of course is finding that someone. And they want transparency in their news process. Shocking, I know.
I really think they’re on to something. We’ll see what happens.
UPDATE: Phil’s take on the meeting. And Bill’s
Not So Fast 
I always know what’s going on. I choose to turn a blind eye to it so I won’t have to watch.
How did this meeting go?
Tony, lol
Kathy, it went well. Very interesting. I don’t know that I really fit into their scheme of things, but I think they will survive the coming crunch far, far better than the more close-minded of the media. I could be wrong of course, time will tell.
