Arianna carves out time between NPR and Sean Hannity

Posted by: Stephen Baker on May 09, 2005

Arianna Huffington read your questions online before even sitting down with me this afternoon. That’s the good news. The bad news? The brand new blogger didn’t have time to handle them all, but promised to answer more from her Blackberry, maybe between the Sean Hannity interview and Charlie Rose.
The skinny:
Some of her celeb bloggers face rude adjustments to the medium. Arthur Schlesinger, for example, sent his first post by fax.
Yes, the blogs will have comments once a few tech glitches are ironed out. Nobody gets edited, no one gets paid—at least until the blog items get sindicated by the Tribune Co, at which point contributors get edited, fact-checked, and yes, paid.

Do her bloggers read blogs and link to them? Looking at her blog, the answer would appear to be, largely, no, but she says they will.
Standards for the site? She says the tone must be civilized.

"Blogging purists," she says, "might say this isn't blogging. But there are many ways to blog."

Like it or not, that's what she's proving. I took a pic of the blog empresario with my camera phone, but sadly it came out blurry and dark.
