Weblogs

Blogging from DC

The Washington bureau of the Christian Science Monitor has started a weblog, Cook’s Capitol, which is a fantastic idea. Regional reporters who cover DC for newspapers across the country should all have blogs, since those reporters tend to specialize in issues that are important back home. For example, the Washington correspondent for a group of papers in Wyoming and Montana has to know land-use and mineral issues much better than a DC correspondent for, say, the Buffalo News. Why not share that knowledge and insight?
