Another One on Bloggers in Press Rooms

Here is a mature and well written piece on the issues at hand.

Everyone knows where I stand and where we as a franchise stand on the  matter.

And I am a blogger — I read a lot too — and in my blog — I link to  many articles  from main stream media and bloggers as well.

I am non denominational in my linking; if it is a good  and thoughtful piece — I offer “link love”; and I am not afraid to take to task  anyone on  my blog when someone writes something I disagree with — that is the power of interactivity.

As I noted — there are 200 million bloggers around the world now — this isn’t a fad — this is mainstream.

Also — why aren’t more owners  doing  daily blogging? Or answering  all fan email? Jump in the water — it is nice and warm and inviting, I promise.

Let The Bloggers In

There are more than 150 million daily active bloggers around the world.

Blogging makes people happy. It is a big part of their self-expression.

I blog every single day.

Tens of thousands of people hear what is on my mind via my blog.

Bloggers deserve our respect and our gratitude.

They work hard. They generate pixels. Pixels generate interest and higher rankings on Google and other search engines. Higher rankings generate more click though. More click through means more relevance with today’s citizens. And it is good business, too!

Bloggers tell more stories. Bloggers reach every nook and cranny of fan interest. Bloggers are passionate and talented. They care about your franchise.

As long as they abide by published and official guidelines I will always support the blogosphere as well as the mainstream media.

As an aside, if there are 150 million plus bloggers today, ISN’T IT TIME WE RECOGNIZE THEM as MAINSTREAM MEDIA?! Can’t get more mainstream than 150 million people.

Bloggers covering sports teams is like oxygen - get used to it!

Bloggers always welcome here. Thank you. Read this blog story.
