Hockey Night in Canada on Bloggers

Our cousins to the north have taken notice of blogging’s impact on coverage of the NHL. Hockey Night in Canada was at the Phone Booth this past week taping a piece on Caps’ bloggers, and it aired tonight. Take a look at the results:

  3. Not bad, though I wish they used more in the segment than the description of what I do for a living. But hey, beggars can’t be choosers :)

    Now, as for the camera adding 10 pounds, it’s true but I’m going to have to fall back on pregnancy as an additional excuse. Dear God.

    That was a great feature! Plus, I have faces to put with names now…not that it was a big deal or anything.

    Just know that I have two antennae and five eyes so if we ever meet, you can say hello or at the very least, not be scared. But then again, Facebook gives me away…

    :-)

    On a more serious note, I have to tell you that I’m just a little envious and I hope Ted’s vision spreads westward.

    There’s a pretty ruthless system of accountability in blogging, whether it’s hockey, politics, or recipes. If you want quality and reliability you know what blogs you trust and enjoy. If you want garbage/mindless entertainment, you go to Eklund and similar blogs.

    There’s a pic of OV on the link for the Washington bloggers. You can watch the bloggers piece there as well in better resolution.

    But you can also see video recaps of Saturday’s games. Check out how well Denis Potvin sucks at his job, and “ALL RIGHT, MEZ!” from the play-by-play guy when the Cats finally score.

    I found his point about accountability interesting. As green trees notes, people will quickly ditch blogs that aren’t accurate, but that isn’t really the issue - one can be factually accurate and yet still push an agenda, sometimes even without actually meaning to. Will there be a Bloggers Code of Conduct? A voluntary review panel? It will be interesting to see how this develops over time. It probably won’t move quickly until there is a breach - a blog that blows a big trade by publishing too early, or a blog that offends a team and gets sued for libel or something that breaks this unwritten trust.

    But well done for your recognition, and thanks from this ex-patriot who trusts you explicitly for all my Caps info. :-)
