ABCNews.com’s The Note
April 23, 2002
This daily political news Weblog, first published on Jan. 14, 2002, quickly became a must-read daily compendium of political news and analysis.

Washington Post White House correspondent Dana Milbank told The Washingtonian, “It’s the arbiter of who is on the cutting edge.” The New York Times Adam Nagourney told the New York Sun The Note has a ?certain intelligence to it,? noting that ?it?s often ahead of the news? and ?sets out concepts for stories and ways to look at the world.?
Scripps Howard Kills Reagan
April 20, 2002
Web surfers discovered a 12-page obituary the Scripps Howard News Service wrote for former president Ronald Reagan marked “embargoed until Reagan’s death.” After the site got cited on a number of Weblogs, including Metafilter, Scripps Howard removed it, but you can still see it in this screenshot CyberJournalist.net preserved, plus you can read some of the pages in The Wayback Machine. This should serve as a good reminder that anything published online can be found, even if it’s not linked to. Password protect pages you don’t want others to see, or even better, don’t put them online!
