Washington Post's "Virginia Politics" Blog Becoming More Blog-like

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

I'm not sure what it is exactly, but have you noticed that the Washington Post's Virginia Politics blog is getting more...well, blog-like? Maybe it's the addition of Rosalind Helderman, who truly seems to understand how to blog. For instance, check out her account of today's Virginia FREE luncheon. It's funny, snarky, informative, and timely (Helderman "live blogged" the Virginia FREE event). In other words, everything you want from a blog (and how to write in general). Is it possible that the corporate media, in this case the Washington Post, is finally starting to understand what tens of millions of other people figured out before them - how to be a blogger? We'll see, but for now, Rosalind Helderman is fast becoming one of my favorite Virginia reporters bloggers. Good work!
