In today’s San Francisco Chronicle, political writer Carla Marinucci has penned a feature story about the rise of conservative web sites in California politics, and spends a large portion of the article on the FlashReport. While I published the FR as a e-newsletter for years, the last four months that we have been online have really seen a surge in our readership and role in the process. I want to encourage all FR readers to check out Marinucci’s piece, which begins below.
This article coming out is a great time to thank some important folks without whom this all would not be happenned: First and foremost I want to thank our site contributors on the Weblog — this is a dedicated group of connected California politicos who DONATE their time to keep you all ‘in the loop’ in every corner of the state, in our state and federal capitols. I would also like to thank the dozens of prominent folks who pen the great columns that you read featured on this site. I’d like to give a ‘shout out’ to my development team at Cloudspace, for working diligently with me to custom-design the FlashReport. Of course, the advertisers on the FR help to make sure we can keep the site in a constant state of improvement. I’d especially like to thank the "Friends of the FlashReport" who helped to bring this site up originally. Finally I want to recognize YOU, the many thousands of readers who come to the FR each day to get a birds-eye view on politics in the Golden State!
Here is the article from the Chronicle, which also highlights the efforts of my friends Steve and Tom. Congrats guys! (The photo appears in the paper, and is me typing away last Wednesday morning, with a photographer in my house!)
