I wrote the following email to you this morning:

Hi Jeff,

greetings from Berlin!

I have linked to your blog.
Our blog is called The Atlantic Review and is edited by three German
Fulbright alumni. We review articles on transatlantic issues and US policies
in US and European newspapers.
We write about 80% in English. Well, I know you speak German, thus the
remaining 20% should not be a problem for you.

We have emailed our newsletter to Fulbrighters in Germany since July 2003. Three months ago, we entered the blogosphere.
We welcome questions, feedback and criticism.

Have an excellent weekend!

Joerg

I hope this was not a violation any netiquet…

You should setup something like http://digg.com or http://reddit.com but tailored for media news so your readers can submit stories. Maybe someone can build a wordpress plugin…
