Guardian recruits British Writers for its new blog

Guardian newspaper is recruiting Britich writers for its new blog ‘Comment is Free’. This blog was launched last week and has already taken 200 writers for the purpose. As per the editor Georgina Henry: It will incorporate all the regular Guardian and Observer main commentators, many blogging for the first time, who will be joined by a host of outside contributors – politicians, academics, writers, scientists, activists and of course existing bloggers to debate, argue and occasionally agree on the issues of the day. Why are we launching it now? Because it’s obvious to us that our major competition for opinion and debate is moving online, and unless we move with it, we’re failing our journalists and future generations of readers.
