WAIT BEFORE YOU GO...ThinkProgress:
As you may have noticed, blogging has been a bit lighter than usual. The ThinkProgress team is at the YearlyKOS convention, held at the fabulous Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.
There are about a thousand bloggers and blog readers here. But the place is also overrun by journalists. Organizers ?put the ratio of conference-goers to reporters at eight to one.? (At the media training we hosted yesterday, we were outnumbered by reporters from The New York Times.) I?m not exactly sure why so many of them came, so I decided to review what they?ve written so far:

At Truthdig, we don’t just report what's happening — we investigate how and why. We follow the threads others leave behind and uncover the forces shaping our future.
