GUARDIAN REFUSES BLOGGING MP
Article on why MPs should get blogging
Clive Soley MP blogs that he recently wrote an article for the Guardian. The article was called "Why MP's Should Get Blogging”. The Guardian turned it down. They felt it was too specialist. Clive thinks it is sad. And, given what I wrote in the postscript of my post below, so do I.
Wish Clive's article had been submitted to the Times instead. Best I can do right now, to give it some publicity, is to link this to the Times and Sunday Times - and submit Clive's post to The World Star Gazette.
Update Note: I've just had an idea. Don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a go. Since the Guardian newspaper have decided it is not in their readers' interest to read about blogging Members of Parliament and "Why our MPs should get blogging", I am pinging here - via Technorati - some American bloggers to ask if somehow, they can get Clive Soley's article to reach British readers: Dave Winer, Jim Moore, InstaPundit and Doc Searls.
