Steve Klein at Poynter dives into the blogger press credential issue this morning, telling the story of how my friend Martin Thornell of Hockey Dirt got the big brush off from the Ottawa Senators.
Looks like that's happening a lot lately up in Ottawa.
What's most disappointing about this whole story is how the folks with the Senators seem to be unaware of what's been happening elsewhere in the league, especially here in D.C., where bloggers and MSM types co-exist peacefully in the press box, locker room and postgame press conference. There's no reason why it can't work elsewhere, especially when the blueprint is already in place.
Thanks to Ted Leonsis and J.P. for the pointer, or "poynter" as it were...
