One of the bloggers at Time's "Blog of the Year"--Powerline--is Scott Johnson. He is from Fargo and the Grand Forks Herald does a profile here. Excerpt:
How did you and Power Line co-founder John Hinderaker hook up?
John Hinderaker is from Watertown, S.D., originally. John and I worked in the same law firm and started, in 1992, to write newspaper columns and magazine articles and research essays. We got things published in National Review, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press and other newspapers. We had something in the New York Times on Election Day in November. And we've had papers published by the Center for the American Experiment, a conservative think tank in the Twin Cities.
The blog lets us keep writing in that vein with more freedom and immediacy, given the fact that we are not journalists doing it for a living.
Hinderaker, of course, was the keynote speaker at this summer's Dakota Blog Alliance Conference--here's the platform, if you never looked it over.
