As some of America's most widely read online journalists gather in New York this week to roll out a new blog consortium, one of the blogosphere's leading lights, Michelle Malkin, sums up their craft in one word: "liberating."
She should know. Mrs. Malkin, a nationally syndicated newspaper columnist for six years, has attracted increasing attention for using her Web site to break a series of major news stories left untouched by traditional news outlets. Her blog, www.michellemalkin.com, is ranked on some lists as among the Internet's most popular. According to Mrs. Malkin, her site, featuring news and commentary from a conservative perspective, attracts an average of around 100,000 unique visitors a day - drawing more readers than many daily newspapers.
It also will be part of Pajamas Media, the 70-blog collaborative being unveiled Wednesday at a reception in the Rainbow Room in New York that will include remarks by a former New York Times reporter, Judith Miller.
