Local Bloggers Need More Exposure Like This

by Matt on May 22, 2009 in Promotion

This is cool. Cory Bergman pointed out a couple days ago that Seattle TV station KIRO-TV is occasionally promoting local blogs right on its home page.

That section on the right called “Daily Double Shot” has a bunch of links that sometimes includes local bloggers. In fact, maybe hard to see on the screenshot, but the 4th story down links to the Vintage Seattle blog.

That’s the kind of exposure local bloggers need. Hope we start seeing more of it from major media sites, although I won’t be holding my breath. Well done, KIRO.

    Definitely, I’d like to see my local newspaper do this – as there’s a real wealth of local bloggers now in Preston, Lancashire and the surrounding area. But we shall see whether they ever do.

    Working on a new template for Preston Blog that will allow me to feature latest blog posts from local bloggers.
