Doc puts it best in describing journalist-blogger-netzian-so-smart Sheila Lennon when he writes:

This all comes to mind as I think, If anybody deserves a blogging award, it's Sheila Lennon. Typically, her collection of Hunter S. Thompson rembrances is the best I've read, so far, and I've read a lot of them. I've said it before (though Google and I are having trouble finding exactly where); but that won't stop me from saying it again: If anybody deserves to be on everybody's blogroll, it's Sheila.

I echo Doc's thoughts. While so many others in the blogzone are writing about "grassroots journalism" and "weblogs and journalism" and "journalism by the people," and while academics debate big media v. lil-media, Sheila's been doing all of this and more.

Don't miss her reporting--as in, this is what reporting is now folks, and thank goodness--on Hunter S. Thompson.

If I could add one thing about Sheila to Doc's praises it would be:

Sheila Lennon practices what we preach.
