Netroots Nation »

I’ve started adding photos to my Flickr stream - if you see me around and want your picture taken, let me know! I’ll keep uploading photos, and you can expect to see some posts about the conference over the next couple of hours. I ran into Matt from New Mexico FBIHOP, and I understand he’ll [...]

True Blue New Mexico »

My friends at Democracy for New Mexico and New Mexico FBIHOP are fundraising again: they’ve started an ActBlue page for all of the Democratic candidates for federal office in New Mexico. They inlcude: Sen. Barack Obama, Rep. Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, Harry Teague, and Ben Ray Lujan.
The netroots is playing a big role in elections [...]

Using technology to really reach your audience - Part I »

I attended a brown bag lunch yesterday hosted by the Institute for Policy, Democracy and the Internet and featuring Brian Reich (of EchoDitto), one of the co-authors of Media Rules. He was leading a discussion about the role of technology in connecting with your audience, and non-profit staffers (like myself) were joined by consultants, media [...]

Parenting 101 »

While I’m out and about, head on over to NewMexiKen’s place for the comment discussion on parenting. Pretty insightful, varied, and interesting, his readership is having a great conversation on the value of education and what it means to love your child:
You have to let them experience things and explore their world. Little by little, [...]

Check out Heath in the Alibi »

My favorite newspaper-reporter-turned-online-journalist Heath Haussamen was profiled in the Alibi this week. Here’s an excerpt:
[Haussamen]: The benefits of the online format are immediacy, depth and multimedia opportunities. I can publish articles that don’t run in newspapers until the next day. I can have a written article accompanied by photos, video, comments, links to other sites [...]

NM GOP out of the blogging game? »

I haven’t seen mention of this anywhere (admittedly, I’m still running all over the D.C.-Baltimore area) but it looks like the New Mexico Republican Party has dropped out of the blogging game. Or, perhaps they let their domain expire:

Long time readers might remember the blog-spat back in October, when the GOP-backed blog New Mexico For [...]

Blogroll addition: The Curious Blogquat »

I’ve mentioned the Connoleys before, and wanted to give you locals a heads up: Rob and Tyler have started a blog:
The Fancy Food Show in Chicago is just four days away and we’re gearing up for the big event. We use this show each year to find the hottest and newest food products, and bring [...]

On the Virginia Tech shootings »

I like what Radley has to say:
When you blog every day, you sometimes feel conflicted about writing on other topics when there are breaking, overwhelming, horrible events going on in the news. Ignoring such news while writing on about other stuff seems callous. But so does commenting on an event about which you have little [...]

WaPo editorial board reverses course, starts questioning Bush Co. involvement in Iglesias firing »

In a post that reminded me of my recent rant on “Old Media” vs. bloggers and other “amateurs,” Glenn Greenwald shows the incredible turnaround of the Washington Post editorial board:
Even more than most national journalists, The Washington Post’s Fred Hiatt has been a stalwart defender of the Bush administration with regard to the U.S. attorneys [...]

Bloggers and journalists »

David Fryxell, publisher of the Desert Exposure, has an editor’s note in this month’s issue that caught my eye. Fryxell writes about bloggers and other “amateurs” and their responsibilities to readers. Fryxell also talks about things he’s learned as a journalist during the past 30 years.
Now, I’ll be honest: I’ve only been a journalist for [...]

Congratulations Heath! »

Heath Haussamen, that enterprising independent reporter/blogger down in Las Cruces, has been online for one year:
This site made its debut on March 20, 2006, with an article about former state Rep. William “Ed” Boykin’s plan to drop out of the race before the November election.

At the time, I was still a reporter at the Las [...]
