Northeast Indiana Public Radio will be running a series on local bloggers and I am lucky enough to be kicking it off tomorrow at 4:30PM. I'm not sure if it's going to be a live interview or part of a story that will air at a later date. I know that the Spaulding Brothers of Downtown Fort Wayne Baseball will be Wednesday's interview and Mitch Harper of Fort Wayne Observed will be on sometime next week as well.
I think it's great that some traditional media sources are taking notice of the local blogosphere and are willing to help promote it. The more people we get involved, the more will be involved in local government - and that is really the point in my opinion...
UPDATE: Sounds like this is going to be part of a larger story on local blogs that will air at a later date. That sounds like a much better idea than a series of live interviews

Jeff,
I believe it is for a later story, but I could be wrong. I think we will be seeing more of this coverage in the coming months as traditional news sources start to recognize the importance of blogs.
Jeff:
I am talking to them at 4 PM on Wednesday...

If anyone can capture this and post it I'd love the chance to hear it since I am not usually by a radio during the day....
Despite very limited resources, NIPR is definitely trying to cover local news. They had some nice pieces on during the election and I am glad to see (okay, hear) that they are expanding that into the topic of local blogs.
I was supposed to follow you at 5:00, but had a last minute conflict. Hopefully Robert was able to cover it for me.
Yes, Robert was there
