We’re all familiar with the many blogs that follow the rough storms of national politics. But there’s also an efflorescence of blogs that devote themselves to the politics of a particular state or city. I just heard today, for instance, about a new blog called Hall Monitor, run by the Time Argus/Rutland Herald Statehouse bureau chief, Darren Allen. In other words, if you want to follow Vermont politics, that’d probably be a good place to start.
Obviously, Allen is a professional newsman. But, just as on the national level, there are also a great number of passionate and committed amateurs who’ve set up their own sites to follow and/or affect politics in their neck of the woods.
Micah Sifry wants to set up a directory of these state and local blogs. So if you have one, or know of a good one, stop by here and drop him a line.
