CJR launches campaign blog

The Columbia Journalism Review has launched a new Weblog called The Campaign Desk to monitor and analyze campaign coverage and is forming a team of professional journalists to contribute to it.

The Web makes it possible to analyze and criticize press coverage in real time, so that suggestions for improved coverage might actually be heeded, and incorporated into campaign coverage, while the campaign is still under way," says dean of Columbia Journalism School Nicholas B. Lemann.

The school has set up a campaign press criticism "war room" at the Journalism School, with the beginnings of a full-time professional staff of seven that will monitor the campaign coverage and write about it. The managing editor of CampaignDesk.org is Steve Lovelady, a veteran journalist who was a deputy page-one editor at The Wall Street Journal; helped supervise 11 Pulitzer Prize-winning works of journalism over twenty years; and was an editor-at-large at Time Inc.

CampaignDesk.org will be updating the site several times daily.
