Check out this story on NPR’s All Things Considered, featuring our former co-conspirator Paul Kiel, now a reporter/blogger for the political blog Talking Points Memo. The blog – and specifically the investigative reporting sub-blog TPM Muckraker (which Paul edits) – is credited with breaking the recent Alberto Gonzales/US attorney firings story. As the All Things Considered piece points out, a pretty concrete indicator of the mainstream sea change blogging and participatory media are effecting. Cheers.

Congratulations to Paul and the rest of the folks at TPM on this well-deserved recognition for work. The Gonzales piece is only one of the stories they have broken and I believe their work represents more than just a shift in media. Here we see not only excellent and tireless journalism, but also an example of a community of concerned individuals effecting change and ultimately making history.
