EPN World Reporter links to Onlineblog in a piece about the Guardian's relationship with the blogging community. "The Guardian is the paper that bloggers love to hate," reckons the author, because "the most interesting blogs" regularly get stuck in to our coverage of the war against terrorism. It even likens Online contributor Ben Hammersley's trip to the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference (filled with "a-list" bloggers) as something akin to a Christian facing the lions. Hmm - I wasn't aware the weblogging community - apart from a handful of right-wing US bloggers - had a problem with the Guardian. Blogging types have certainly been very supportive of Online, and Onlineblog. And you'd hope most bloggers could see that the same principles that ensure a broad range of voices in the paper's opinion pages also mean we see this kind of technology as important: it enables a similarly broad, if immeasurably larger, debate to happen online. What's more, let's face it, even the hawks would be lost without the Guardian's opinion pages - what would they link to otherwise?
