Popular Blogger Fronts-Up In Prime Time

A bit off topic here, however it was good to see popular blogger Cameron Slater of Whale Oil front up on Close Up last night.

The Worth saga is intriguing to watch. How has Key handled what could be his biggest crisis to date and how can Labour react to a golden opportunity to politically score? It was not a good start for Labour - Ironically "Phil-in" Goff failed to show!

We know that more and more people are turning to blogs and other social media for their news and commentary. What is interesting is that the popular media have been quoting comments from blogs (often without divulging a sources) for some time. Now we see that a blogger has been elevated by the popular media to front up and directly contribute in an open interview in prime-time.

Good to see!
