About The Lede In the news business, the opening sentences of a story are referred to as its "lede" -- spelled that way, journalism lore has it, to avoid confusion with the lead typesetting that once dominated newspaper printing presses. Although a tightly focused narrative typically follows the lede, every sentence in a news story has the potential to spiral off in new directions, and each paragraph leaves behind unexplored angles. That's where The Lede's mission begins.I am in the process of writing a bit about "portfolio management" and blogs thanks to a discussion I had with Robert Cox of the Media Bloggers Association.
Keeping an eye on blogs, citizen media,citizen journalism, citizen reporters and anything about technology that's news for the news business since 2002. Acting locally in Chicago, thinking globally.

A new NYTimes media blog
The lede looks like a media review blog. I like the way it aggregates external blogs that talk about the subject at hand.
