How Can The San Diego Union Tribune Compete Against Bloggers? Build SDBackyard.com and Invite Them To Contribute

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:31:38 PDT
SD Backyard.com is the San Diego Union Tribune’s answer to competition from citizen journalists. I get the meat and potatoes from the internet but the local fishwrap does a nice job on the obituaries. I’m a serial obituary reader (I love people) so the U-T is my Sunday companion on the beach. I damn near jumped off the blanket this afternoon! This mainstream medium invited the bloggers into the big tent. Editor and Publisher magazine reports: The paper plans to reverse publish some of th

High gas prices initiate trend of less driving

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:34:53 PDT
U.S. drivers appear to be succumbing to price shock at the pump.

Tuesday and I'm really bummed because I thought it was Wednesday for some reason. I really went through the day thinking, "Hump day. Weekend's almost here." And when I sat down at the computer to write I noticed stuff saying it was Tuesday online and thought, "Huh?" I was so hopeful until reality sunk in! This is from Edward Luce's "Obama under fire over Iraq troop pledge:" US presidents have a history of abandoning campaign promises by pointing out that “the world looks different from here” w

You know, I am not a terribly religious person... I do not go to church every Sunday (and, in fact, have not been in quite some time), I have a hard time narrowing down what my beliefs exactly are (outside of the generic term "Christian"), and I am hardly what one would consider "evangelical". That said, having attended Roman Catholic and Lutheran schools, and been brought up Episcopalian and Anglican Catholic, I do know all manner of religious trivia.
