[update] Professional blogging comes to Ohio through PolitickerOH, no women reporters or editorial?


[Update: I've received a warm response to my inquiry about women and Politicker and hope it leads to good discussion and, of course, the pick-up of qualified writers for the site, who are women.  Gotta start somewhere. Also, I want to link to this NYT article about the Politicker idea, to give some background.  I think it's a great idea and can fill a niche without impacting the hyper-local nature of blogs like The Wom Blog, Glass City Jungle or Brewed Fresh Daily, among others.]

Hattip to Bring Ohio Home for announcing the new blog, PolitickerOH. I don’t recognize most of the names but I do recognize James Pindell’s. He did a great job covering New Hampshire last summer for the Boston Globe. All RSS’d for it.

However, unless Wally Edge is a woman, out of the eight folks listed, ain’t nary a woman involved. Time to write an e-mail to check that out.

Oops! I found one! Here: Jennifer DePaul – in charge of the Wake-Up Call service.

Okay – still e-mailing. Curious to know how they are on the WOC and POC thing too.

    Great. Just we what need. ANOTHER political blog in Ohio.

    I suppose these guys are going to expect convention credentials too.
