TV guys and their blogs

Three on-air staffers at the channel 2 & 9 combine now write blogs on the station websites: morning anchor Kent Shocknek, weatherman Josh Rubenstein and "money man" Alan Mendelson. Jonah at L.A. Blogs is "impressed that the blogs seem to be truly personal accounts and not shills for their stations."

In other local blogger news, Cathy Seipp writes at National Review Online about the "Instalanche" of visitors and comments that resulted when her 14-year-old daughter, who blogs as Cecile DuBois, posted an item conservative enough to get a mention by the high-traffic political blogger Instapundit.
