How did I come to be involved in this fiasco? I was reading a thread, and something set my proverbial spider-sense tingling. So I posted a challenge to the person who put the thread up and was taking it at face value. The discussion went from there. Probably, had not so many people been on the thread seemingly pushing Thompson's story, I never would have pulled the string. But I did, and found nothing to make me think there is a Terrance Wilkinson, I posted a thread about it and made a blog entry about it, and everything unfolded from there. If you follow up from that post on my blog, you can get a pretty good feel for how things flowed.
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.
