< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence How the New York Times Is Like Nemo
In between national elections, the Paper of Record handled the Internet with a vacillating treatment of awe couched in condescension and condescension couched in awe, making sure to keep its headlines as uniformly surprised by the rise of the Web as possible. It'd be one thing if this were the Times' passive-aggressive way of keeping encroaching blogs at bay (bits and bytes and blogs, oh my!), but when you're soliciting "content producers" for your own rapidly expanding stable of blogs at the frenzied rate the Times has for the last couple of years, this kind of gape-mouthed coverage really just shoots you right in the gill. Er, foot. Holy shit, Maggie! Balk, can we keep her, too? Posted by: karion on August 25, 2008 12:32 PM Wait, Maggie's here also? Nicely done! Page views here I come - 2012 - The Year of The Elected Official Blogger Hi Karion - you always beat me to it. Posted by: NotAndersonCooper on August 25, 2008 1:12 PM All right. Score another one for the Good Guys. Welcome in, Maggie. Posted by: KarenUhOh on August 25, 2008 1:49 PM Okay, Maggie's here too. All-star team in effect. I'll admit to liking "City Room" on the Times site. Don't read much else NYT-blogs wise. Maybe "Bits" and "The Lede." As for political bloggers, Ben Smith and Liz Benjamin are the only ones I take seriously, because they're not always shouting. Or, seem like they're shouting. Posted by: AaronAltman on August 25, 2008 1:59 PM Advertisement The Redeem Team is clearly in formation right here. Posted by: KarenUhOh on August 25, 2008 2:10 PM Keep writing. Thanks. :) Posted by: SuperAdge on August 25, 2008 10:09 PM |
