editorial page blog

For those who haven’t seen it, my newspaper’s editorial writers have a blog. They’re even talking about it over at Movable Type HQ.
I played a tiny, tiny role in setting it up — we’re talking tiny, but not so tiny I won’t mention it here. Unsurprisingly — given that the editorial board’s a conservative bunch and its main poster, Rod Dreher, is a National Review alum — it has a tone similar to National Review Online’s The Corner.
(On a related note, if you haven’t seen our print editorial page recently, check it out some time. It’s miles better than it was even a year ago — the opinions are much crisper, and the new boss is very open to trying new things with what’s traditionally been the most staid page of any newspaper. There’s a lot less of the traditional “on the one hand…on the other hand” mushiness of old.)

  1. Nice work in contributing to the blog getting started! Having worked at a paper, I know exactly how hard these things can be to get going.

  2. i live near dallas, and i was kind of shocked when i read about this blog in my paper. somehow i don’t connect the dallas morning news and blogs in my mind. but it is an interesting idea.
