« Where's the Fence? | Main | Lost in Translation » June 7, 2007ExitWKRN's Brittney Gilbert, the first full-time paid blogger the history of local teevee news has resigned from the station. The City Paper covers it. Let the inevitable speculation about the future of NashvilleIsTalking.com begin. Although, as the City Paper writer mentions, WKRN's foray into the blogosphere with NiT and VolunteerVoters.com has not translated into improved ratings for the third-place news station, I think it would be a shame if WKRN under its new management didn't continue former general manager Mike Sechrist's commitment to being connected to the local blogosphere. The local blogosphere is a treasure trove of potential news stories and sources, and loaded with grassroots media talent, yet no local media outlet - not even WKRN with its two full-time blogger - has yet really begun to mine it correctly.
