Blognation - a sad story Wednesday, December 05, 2007

I hope todays flamer on Blognation will not bring its excellent output to a shuddering halt.

Their international coverage is unrivalled, and whilst some firms prefer to give scoops to other longer established mastheads, I hope their financial trials can be overcome.

That some of those other titles chose to delight in the scandal reflected badly on them - when the media become the story something has gone wrong with editorial priorities and highlights their own self-importance.

Update
I've exchanged emails with several of the Blognation team expressing my sadness at the current situation. Their responses fall into one of two camps - "Oliver is right, so we're out of here" or "we'll carry on regardless because we enjoy it".
