NEWSPAPERS: Changing the Guard at the Centretown Buzz

[dewline]

I don't live in Centretown, but I've been reading the Centretown Buzz off and on over the last decade, in large part because of the editor-in-charge for most of that span, one Kathryn Hunt. She's been a fellow contributor to Spacing Ottawa alongside yours truly, and there's been the SF&F community here in Ottawa-Gatineau which has provided other connections. Those connections will continue, I expect.

But...she's done with newspapers. At least for the time being.

I hope that we maintain - nay, improve upon! - our respect for non-daily newspapers. They're covering ground that the dailies are increasingly prevented from, and the CBC can still only do so much despite all their well-performed budget-stretching tactics. And there are so many 'blogs out there, even now.

FYI: If you want to see her commentaries about being a dedicated year-round bicyclist, here's that blog.

More on other stuff later...

The new editor is Marna.

[dewline]

....Marna who?

Nightengale. Not sure of how to put in the DW code for commidorified.

[dewline]

It's okay about the DW coding. I didn't know that I already sort-of-know Kate's successor.

Although I'm not sure they needed me to know this.

Where are the blogs? I remember in my youth the Early Internet was full of blogs, but I feel like those are going the way of the woolly mammoth. All we've got left are holdover small island populations, and those won't last forever.

I'd be happy to be wrong.
