Is it me, or are we having another rush of local weblog's setting-up shop in West Texas' end of the blogosphere?
I have no problem with more traffic, coming and going, and exchanging news and views ... that's good for us all ...
If there is one thing I'm not so thrilled about, it's the - so far - narrow focus of these blogs ...
West Texas TV
Media Showdown
Tale of Two Medias
KMID Blews & Blows
N2News
They're not all the exact same, of course ... the first talks about the technical end of the media, the next three talk about the media in general, and the last one IS the media ...
My hope is that, given some time, they may broaden their scope - and, through that, our knowledge - a little bit. Right now, I spend too many hours-a-day, too many days-a-week, working broadcast and online news, to come home and have somebody presume to tell me all about it.

Welcome, bloggingmediaman.
The rants don't worry me. They're as much a part of the job as an AP Style Manual ... besides, if you listen closely and openly enough, even a rant has something to offer ... though, sometimes, it's a little hard to find the gem under all that slurry ...
I'll look forward to learning from yours ...
