They call it a website, not a blog, which might have had a different effect on readers.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

If you Google either your name or "Jerome a Paris," the third link (and the only one with "Europe" in the title) is to ET.  People won't have any trouble finding us.

That should come as no surprise, looking at the mixed bag of reactions here in the states.  The problem for the more conservative elements -- "conservative" as in, "the old way" -- is that Daily Kos, among news-oriented sites, is one of the most-read sources in the country.  Nearly a million readers per day places that site just a bit below the NYT and the WSJ, and ahead of The Washington Post, if I'm not mistaken.  So Kos is impossible to ignore.

It's simply going to take some time for the established press to recognize that blogs are here to stay and will continue to gain power.

Anyway, I thought it was a great profile.  Congrats, Jerome.

Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin

re: Le Monde's reluctance to put up the name of this blog, what Ingrid says is pretty much what I surmised.

...why newspapers didn't embrace the blogs and put some synergy (to use a fancy word) at work asap. I've been thinking on blog correspondents that post in the name of a newspaper and whereby the newspaper can select blog pieces to get published in a paper edition. The newspaper gets a small margin of blog income (not that would be much) and exposure, the blogger gets wider attention bringing in more people to the blog and perhaps he'd get a monetary compensation per contribution printed on paper. The Guardian's Comment is Free is a measly attempt of that vision. Le Monde should make Jerome a consulant and grant him occasional exposure in separate Blog section before the FT takes him...

In the Netherlands, however, I learned last year that at least Dutch newspapers are tied strictly with legislation to prevent them from expanding by radio shows, tv or website activities - against which they've started to protest now they're losing ground. Just saying: It may not only be dinosaur movements objecting to their upcoming decline.
