Regarding your comment on getting ET mentioned when you are quoted--you mentioned that reporters like a banker rather than a blogger.  I wonder if there might be some alternative ways to present yourself in those settings.  I'm not suggesting deceit, but rather a manner of presentation that would be more acceptable to them.  For example, Jerome Guillet, Managing Director <some title you felt comfortable with> of the European Tribune, an Internet News Agency (and then further along in the discussion) an agency dedicated to European News and topical discussion from Worldwide Contributors <I've given this actual mission statement very little thought,,,but just show it as an example to be developed--obviously you don't want to deceive, but blogging does have a non-professional image to some people, but what we mean by blogging is actually pretty deep (at least some of it), and describing it without the word blog might make it more acceptable.....just a somewhat inchoate thought.

perhaps you could stipulate that they put the url to ET next to your name, or at the foot of the article so that people who wanted to could further explore your writings....and get a clue about blogs!

congrats jerome, between your son, your job, and the reading and writing, i think you must have discovered some quantum way to compress more hours in the day!

this sounds like a better, and less complicated, idea than mine.  if they would accept the stipulation.

I did suggest it, but so far they did not take up the idea, sadly.

As to the time issue: I sleep less these days! And I read much fewer books than I used to.
