Watching The Herald

The other day I noted that the Radio Marti/El Nuevo Herald story hadn't elicited any comments on Babalu. But a note from Babalu contributor Henry 'Conductor' Gomez lets me know that he has commented on this story, on his new blog, Herald Watch. In the posting, for example, Conductor points out that several years ago in The Herald, Elaine de Valle wrote that freelancer Olga Connor was paid to appear on a Radio Marti show twice weekly.

Good. Having a critical blog watching what the local paper writes is always a good thing. In South Florida, Daily Pulp has been the only other blog doing that. The political perspectives of the two blogs is light years apart, making a lot of room for a broad range of opinions. (Note the Pulp's take on the criticism of the Herald story.)
