So it's been a momentous week at our virtual News Growl HQ. We broke our fist ever genuine exclusive (Rebel GOP activists launch drive to draft Libertarians Larry Sharpe and Andrew Hollister) and we are just about to publish an interview we've been working on for several weeks (can't say who yet, of course), I had a column published in IVN, and then, using the same story, Reason Magazine published a Hit & Run column about the same issue citing my original News Growlarticle as a source!
So things have been stepping up a level recently. And our traffic figures have more or less doubled in the last couple weeks, which is encouraging. But you may have noticed another theme: more and more of this has been under my byline. Choosing who we put as the author for a lot of News Growl coverage has been pretty arbitrary sometimes. Pat McConnell and I both contribute to most of what appears on the site (except for the fashion articles which I rarely get involved with). But lately I've been doing more, partly because Pat has not been able to keep up the red-hot productivity levels she's managed for months, and also she's been away at a conference for several days. So it has left me more or less in charge. I'm pleased to say that, so far, it's gone well. Which has helped ease my sorrow about Sunday's performance by North Melbourne. Now out of the Eight, I can't help but wonder if losing to Essendon will turn out to be a key moment in the season, and not in a good way. Pat should be returning home soon and I'm looking forward to having her back full-time. We do have a lot more underway to tell you about soon! |
