Doug Thompson Media, owner and operator of the web site since its debut on the Web on October 1, 1994, announced today that it has agreed to sell the site to Capitol Hill Journalism Partnership.
"Capitol Hill Blue is a pioneer in web-based journalism," said partnership spokesman William J. Lowrey. "We intend to honor that tradition and improve upon it."
The partnership is composed of working, Washington-based journalists who work for print, broadcast and web-based media outlets.
"We intend to use Blue as a test bed for new techniques and concepts for web journalism," Lowrey said.
I think it would be far more "educational" if you perhaps could elucidate on the above selling of CHB statements. WHO OWNS Capitol Hill Blue at the present time? Who was the deceptive party in this fiasco?
And what exactly does this mean?
"We intend to use Blue as a test bed for new techniques and concepts for web journalism," Lowrey said.
Thank-you, for your time in response.I will go read the links you posted to possibly start to answer my questions figuring out this fiasco.
I think it would be far more "educational" if you perhaps could elucidate on the above selling of CHB statements. WHO OWNS Capitol Hill Blue at the present time? Who was the deceptive party in this fiasco?...Brings to mind the U2 lyrics, If I could, you know I would If I could, I would. I am confused why you think I would know this, any more than you would. I am not associated with CHB, and had never even visited that website until I started getting suspicious about the article which I saw posted here.And what exactly does this mean?
"We intend to use Blue as a test bed for new techniques and concepts for web journalism," Lowrey said.
Who owns CHB? I have no clue, other than a recent statement where Doug Thompson said he is still the editor (posted to the Madman thread), and his statements on these threads that make it sound like he is still running it, and the DNS records for the domain name which still list him as the owner. My best guess is that Doug Thompson owns it.
What does that imply about the "Sold" story? Either the sale fell through, or it did not and Doug still gets to run the place. I have no idea which.
As for the comment by 'Lowery' about 'new techniques', I have no idea. I cannot read minds, especially of people I have never met, know nothing about, and am not even sure exist.
Since I have answered your questions to the best of my ability, how about returning the favor. Why on earth do you seem to be under the impression that I am associated in any way, shape, or form with Capitol Hill Blue?
