Mike Miller was just on WSPD giving his weekly preview of the upcoming issue of the Toledo Free Press. He's doing a 'best of' 2007 and I just heard him mention that Chris Myers/Swamp Bubbles and Lisa Renee/Glass City Jungle made the list of 'newsmakers' for their blogs.
Congrats to both of them!
btw - Carty is the newsmaker of the year because of the number of times he makes the news - good AND bad...
wtg Chris~
Well thank you Toledo Free Press! One of the new parts I am working on will hopefully make it an even more important news source. But it is more complex than what I initially imagined, and I am still working on it :)
• Toledo School Board candidate Chris Myers and author Lisa Reneé Ward represent two of the many blog and discussion board owners who give Web surfers a place for their 2 cents: Ward at www.glasscityjungle.com and Myers at www.swampbubbles.com.
They share a spot on the short list for their efforts to focus on the political climate of the Toledo area and encourage intelligent discussion of the issues that face the average Joe. Myers' site asks, “What will bubble up today?” referring to the spontaneity with which issues arise. Ward's touts “Because local politics can be a jungle out there …”
Myers, who lost his bid for school board but remains a TPS educational advocate, announced plans to launch two new blog sites in February, www.GreatOpenSwamp.com and www.Governmentfor.us. He also owns and operates the TPS-oriented www.ideasfortps.com and www.tpssearch.com, which addresses the superintendent search.
Ward, who writes weekly for Toledo Free Press, authored “In Memory of … The Loved and the Forgotten of Ohio,” a book inspired by research of her father's family, and runs a blog at www.liberalcommonsense.blogspot.com.
