Carolina Blog Network FAQ

What is the Carolina Blog Network?
The CBN is a dedicated channel of communication among associated bloggers. For progressive politicians and policy organizations, the Network is a single point of access to many sympathetic voices on the web.

What is CBN for?
Our goal is to more effectively disseminate information of interest to forward-thinking North Carolinians and to permit the coordinated focus of bloggers on breaking stories and important issues.

How can my candidate, representative, or organization take advantage of the CBN?
Contact an Associate (listed below). Each Associate has the ear of the others, and can pass along the information you provide. Be sure to explain why the news or issue you're sharing is of interest to the North Carolina blogging community.

What happens when my story or information is communicated to the CBN?
Associates are fully independent, and will choose for themselves whether to cover a story. You can be sure that items that are passed along will be considered by Associates. In many cases, North Carolina's lefty bloggers will focus on your item, adding their voices to the conversation and building popular interest.

Who is in the Network?
The following bloggers are Associates, and can be contacted through the blogs linked after each name. The list will be updated to reflect changes. It is current as of Feb. 7, 2006.
