Matt Williams, Ed Cone on Blogging in North Carolina
The N&R's Matt Williams makes the front page with his article on local bloggers. "In Guilford County, a small but growing group of observers sharing information and insight on local issues is beginning to draw candidates and elected officials into the fray, giving them a chance to share more than the typical sound bite or campaign slogan."
I'll have more detail on local campaign blogging in tomorrow's newspaper column.
The big paper also gives the upcoming blog conference a plug: "To help out the budding blog community, Cone and Hoggard are offering a seminar Aug. 28 for prospective bloggers modeled after a national conference at Harvard. They've invited local candidates and elected officials to learn about the medium, along with the area's more experienced bloggers to offer advice."
Thanks to Matt and the N&R.
The conference is free and open to all. If you plan on coming, please tell Hoggard or me via email or blog comment. 9 AM, 8/28. 620 S. Elm St. (old Wrangler factory, corner of Lee St.), 3d floor conference room. And it keeps getting better: I just got an email from a local blogger saying she's bringing cookies. [EdCone.com]
