As the new Global Voices Regional Editor for the Caribbean, I’ve been able to recruit a handful of volunteer authors who will now share the responsibilty — praise Jah! — of writing articles for our weekly Friday slot.
It is my great pleasure to present to you the first of these pieces, a characteristically ambitious attempt to begin charting the history of Caribbean blogging, by Nicholas Laughlin. The whole thing’s a bit ironic since Nicholas is my editor at Caribbean Beat, and so far he’s been far more respectful of deadlines than I normally am. But time may tell — he’s only been on the job a week.
UPDATE [11:39pm]: Be sure to keep an eye on the comment thread for this post, as there have already been several suggestions for additions to the annals.
Well–with a total of two (three?) “authors” plus your fine self, I expect I’ll have to write a GV post only about once a month, so perhaps I’ll be an on-deadline kind of man for once. But you know me–I’ll write five posts in one week & then nothing for six months.
