Conservative Bloggers Don’t Do Reporting. Oh Yeah?

Jim Lynch — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:45:54 +0000

Michelle Malkin has a lengthy list of right-of-center bloggers providing original reporting over the past year.

For various reasons, the incredible amount of investigative online reporting published on conservative blogs in just the last year alone has gone largely uncredited. Let’s fix that here and now:

It is a long and impressive list. Seriously, take a look.

And to those on the list, you are welcome, even encouraged, to submit your stories to Blog News Co-op. Let’s not rest on 2008′s work, but rather break out even more in 2009 and beyond.

Blogiversary Database

Did you know there is a database for bloggers to enter the date they started? It’s called the Blogiversary Database, maintained by bRight & Early Blog.

Now bloggers can add their information to the database. On their anniversary date (blogiversary) a link to their blog will be displayed on any site that has added the code. I’ve also set it up to display yesterday’s and tomorrow’s blogiversaries.

The submission process has been updated. Find out more.

Help Wanted

As a new year approaches it’s time to get Blog News Co-op off the ground. You can help.

Many things are needed, but a few stand out.

More than anything we need writers to submit original articles for use by other bloggers. If you have a story that you are interested in sharing be sure to sign up for an account and submit your article.
Editors. We would like to identify some authors who are willing to help polish and finalize submitted works.
Researchers, fact-checkers, photographers, illustrators, anything and everything that will help us find, follow, and report the stories of interest to other bloggers and readers.
Starting out I would like to find someone who is willing to create a more appropriate image for the top of the page.
I would also be helpful to hear the ideas that you might have. Please leave your comments and let me know what we need to do, and how we can do it!

Oh yeah, spread the word.
