Casinos, development management, local politics, and cultural events are just some of the topics
currently being discussed on numerous blogs devoted to a single topic- Amador County.
The term “blog,” short for “web-log” is someone’s personal website where he or
she can post commentary or news on a topic of choice. A typical blog consists
of texts, images, and links to other blogs or web-media related to its content.
Amador blogs are posted by citizens from across the political spectrum, and
they all contain a unique perspective on local issues. One exceptional chracteristic
of local blogs is this-
they can criticize, make fun, probe facts, and ask questions that the
mainstream local media cannot. “I really admire those who take the time to maintain a blog and speak
out...it's a great way for the voice of the people to be
consistently heard," said one local blogger.
