Matt Sheffield leaving NewsBusters

NewsBusters co-creator Matt Sheffield is leaving. With many professional irons in the fire, he noted that the blogosphere has changed drastically since he became involved in 2005:

The Right has also grossly misunderstood the role of media in a political system. Too often the conservative response to media bias has been to create niche outlets that are not mainstream, i.e. made for the tiny number of people who are right-wing political junkies. We need a true diversity of voices in the media and that process works in both directions.

I waded into the blogosphere in 2006 and, yes, it has changed considerably. Keep an eye out for Matt's new ventures.
