In a year-end wrap-up, Seattle magazine chose PubliCola (along with the PI.com and Techflash) as one of three standout sites on its "Power '09: New Media" list.

Says Seattle mag about "The New, New Media" and PubliCola:

Print newspapers might be going the way of the stone tablet ... but journalists aren’t down and out. They’re still hewing to trusted and true journalistic standards with newly created online-only publications.

A few of these new new media contenders are influencing and shaping Seattle’s news landscape ...

Whether you agree or disagree with PubliCola’s witty and irreverent brand of political coverage, it’s time to start paying attention...

We're flattered to be in the company of the PI.com and Techflash, two sites that share PubliCola's M.O.—tempering the notion that blogging is changing reporting by making sure reporting changes blogging.
