LINK REORGANIZATION: A reader writes to ask why Virginia Postrel isn’t in the Big Journalism group, since she writes for the New York Times and all.
My thinking was that only corporate blogs go there. (Okay, I stretched a point with the L.A. Examiner, but it’s going to be a newspaper, so. . . ) Virginia’s a big journalist, but (like Josh Marshall) she has a blog that’s freestanding. If, like Kaus, she “takes the Boeing” and goes the in-house, corporate-sellout, big-bucks blogging route, I’ll move her into Big Journalism.
And why’s The American Times in the Big Journalism group? Just to keep the rest of ’em from getting swelled heads.
