Newspaper Bias Against Mom Bloggers
The latest New York Times article on mom bloggers, Honey, Don’t Bother Mommy. I’m Too Busy Building My Brand, is yet another of many from the Times that attempts to marginalize our industry. Liz Gumbinner has an amazing post about the snarky New York Times article, and the comments there are outstanding. Be sure to [...]
How to Blog Like a Journalist
Blogging is a wonderful medium, but I am also a firm believer that we bloggers can elevate our work by taking the best of new media and the best of old media and combining it. It serves us well, and it serves our readers well. I spent 15 years as a newspaper reporter, and now [...]
Type-A Momfluence Party

Anyone who has ever chatted with me on the subject knows I have some very strong opinions about blogging ethics. All bloggers need to keep [...]
The Newspaper as Specialty Publication
Tomorrow, I predict one of the best days in newspaper sales in several months. Despite all the stories of woe in the newspaper industry, don’t be surprised if you hit newspaper racks tomorrow to find them all sold out. How can that be in the midst of a recession and with an industry that is [...]
Why Web Coverage is the Best PR Coverage
Just a few minutes ago, yet another PR entity annoyed me for the same reason. They don’t get web writing, or bloggers. They still think web coverage is lesser than print coverage. That’s mildly hilarious, what with this being the year 2008 and much of the planet using the web as a primary information source. [...]
Are You a Blogger or Blog Junkie? Start Noshing!
I can’t resist a great idea. This is why my About me page makes me look mildly psychotic. But hey, I’m known as the queen type-A mom, so that’s just me. When I first heard about Blog Nosh Magazine, I knew I had to get a bite of that. First of all, it’s the brainchild [...]
