And Cool Name Too
Jack McElroy, the editor for The Knoxville News Sentinel, has a blog. Here’s his column on why he started a blog:
Why am I undertaking this commitment to spending even more of my day hunched over a computer screen?
Credibility.
In recent years, the credibility of the news media has suffered mightily.
It’s called the Sentinel’s Sentinel. Via Michael.
Update: Well, I guess they’re not that into criticism since their comments section is heavily moderated.

This has been a eventful month for blogging in Tennessee. The loss of three “journalist” blogs in Nashville and the addition of a new blog/blab by SKB. Now the surprise from Jack McElroy.
The editorial process at the KNS has been very user friendly with the current and past Knoxville government administrations. Will McElroy’s new blog offer people a voice they do not have with the “letters to the editor”? It’s a start.
The next question is will MetroPulse start a blog or blab?
