Give Me My Remote in the News

April 10, 2006 by  

Today’s issue of The San Diego Union Tribune features an article about TV blogging and how networks are starting to really embrace, well, us bloggers. Karla Peterson, the SD Union Tribune reporter who wrote the piece, was on hand for the Veronica Mars Bloggers Press Day back in February.  Karla followed up with me, and fellow blogger extrodinaire, Dan from DuckyxDale, to get our thoughts on the VM Press Day, as well as TV blogging in general.  I’m finding that reading a quote you gave a reported is like seeing yourself on TV..I’m cringing, thinking…did I really say that?! Leave it to me turn up the dork factor.  Oh well.  Hope you enjoy the article.

TV shows embrace the passion (and value) of Internet fan sites

UNION-TRIBUNE TELEVISION CRITIC

They came to San Diego from Boston; Seattle; Matawan, N.J.; and other cities not known for their friendly February weather. So when the visitors touring the “Veronica Mars” set ended up eating their lunch outside in the rain, you’d think someone would have complained.

But no one did, because no one cared. The skies over the set may have been blustery, but it was a beautiful day in the “Veronica Mars” blogosphere.

On a damp Monday in late February, nine TV fans who devote big chunks of their Web journals to UPN’s savvy detective drama participated in the network’s inaugural Veronica Mars Blogger Press Day.”
