Pajama activists
Citizen Magazine, a publication of Focus on the Family, is carrying a cover story about blogging titled “Pajama activists.” The article is a general one about blogging, and it also features me and In the Agora (ITA). Generally the piece is good but it’s worth noting that ITA is a nationally-focused blog, which isn’t entirely clear from the article. Most of my local and Indiana blogging is done here. Moreover, the law school reporting was actually done at IndyLaw Net, not here. Nevertheless the article is a good primer for those not yet familiar with blogging. Because the market for nationally-focused blogs is largely taken, local niche blogging remains the future in my opinion. That’s why I offered this quote:
“Mainstream media probably wouldn’t have cared even if they had known because it wasn’t that big a story. But that’s an example of a niche story. When you think of small niches, you realize there are all these small pockets that are being ignored, and blogging – which is so easy, so simple – can do it.”
