WSN launched this blog yesterday, and we were fairly quiet about it. It was uncharacteristic of ourselves. We tend to be loud, and some of us have even made a profession of it. But we haven’t changed — we were (or more accurately, I was) just a day late in getting the word out. If you check our print edition tomorrow, you will see an editor’s note eerily similar to this post.
Unlike myself, the opinion columnists have already bombarded their blog with posts about subject matters that interest the NYU community. We currently have four blogs sections — opinion, arts, sports and editor. We hope to inform, entertain and, ultimately, spark some dialogue. Maybe some of you will even organize a protest, bang drums and sing songs over something we write. But we hope it isn’t because we’re not responsible in our posts. Our beloved opinion editors issued an edict before our blog launched: “No racism, flame wars or outrageous obscenity.”
I digress.
Did you get to the blog OK?
I’m assuming you did since you’re here, but just so you know, it is blogs.nyunews.com. If you put “www” in front of it, you’ll be directed to a site titled “Problem loading page.” If that site ever becomes more engaging than our blog, then please let me know. It would be a sign that both you and WSN have a problem.
This blog allows you to have direct dialogue with writers. In fact, blogs are comment-driven. Our bloggers may be intellectual and funny (might as well throw in good-looking), but we encourage you to add to the discussion with your comments. And when they write something outrageous, we expect someone to put them in line with a scathing, yet clever comment. But watch out because, unlike our article feedback which prohibits writers from posting, our bloggers are allowed to write back and defend their ideas.
With a blog, we are able to publish content whenever and wherever we want. A newspaper comes out every morning, but if our printing press burns down due to a guy in the back making a bonfire burning credit card receipts, you’re going to have to wait for the new presses until you read about it in WSN.
Also, the blog enables us to give you large amounts of content in short posts — they will not exceed 500 words and there is an unlimited amount of space for posts, unlike in our paper.
The editor’s blog will often include content regarding what goes on behind the decisions at WSN. Also, I hope to write about issues within the community that we, as gatekeepers of information at NYU, have unique perspectives on. The managing editor, Adam Playford, and the assistant managing editor, Josh Burd, may also be posting occasionally about newsroom issues. But beyond that, I cannot predict the direction the editor’s blog will take. It will evolve as we feel our way through.
I will end by saying I am very excited for this new venture. It was made possible by managing editor Adam Playford, who put endless hours into getting the blog off the ground; opinion editors Matt Buchanan and Mike Devlin, who took the blog and ran with it (their writers already have 16 posts up in the first day); and film editor John Lichman, who pushed and pushed for the blog.
Keep in mind, we are open to new ideas. If you have a suggestion, a new blog pitch or feedback, e-mail me at editor@nyunews.com.
