Stop the presses!
No really. Stop ‘em.
Because The Times has eased its exclusivity grip on at least one of its stringers, and allowed none other than Claudia La Rocco (aka, L. Ro.)…TO START A BLOG!
“The Culturist” is being hosted by WNYC and promises to host some inspiring confab. In her maiden post, L. Ro. writes:
…with your help [that's all y'all], The Culturist will be an ever-growing critic’s collective notebook, an open space for a rich stew of ideas, overheard remarks, questions, digressions, arguments, conversations and asides.
Girl’s already got three comments. Let’s see what a little freedom and no editor will do for this critic.
Let’s also hope she can endure the random lame comments from blogotrash. My feeling is that L. Ro. will probably be able to handle it with a little more grace than yours truly.

Not sure why this is such big news; Steve Smith has been an active blogger all the while he’s been a Times stringer (nightafternight.com).
I could be wrong, but I think Steve Smith was blogging before he started writing for The Times. The Times’ policies may be different for others without that background. Of course, I’m speculating here.
