N&R adds bloggers to newspaper

The News & Record in Greensboro, N.C., is adding columns from two boggers and 13 readers to the newspaper opinion pages.

The "Community Contributors panel" includes 13 columnists from among the newspapers' readers.

The panel was chosen from a pool of more than 70 applications and will change annually. Each panelist will contribute up to six columns over the next year on a variety of topics and from a wide range of perspectives.

They are young and not-as-young, liberal, conservative, black, white, Christian, Muslim, immigrant and native-born. They include a college student, a medical doctor, the owner of a local nanotechnology firm, a retired engineer, a young mother and a recent newcomer from Peru. But they can tell their stories better than I can; they'll introduce themselves to you individually in Wednesday's editions.

Among other new columnists will be David Hoggard, a prolific local blogger and political gadfly, and Sarah Jones, a Greensboro native, former personal chef and freelance writer who blogs about food in her spare time on a site called Thought for Food. David and Sarah will alternate columns each Wednesday on the op-ed page.
