Herd in Washington

Thu, November 13, 2008 - 12:10 PM

The long campaign really is over, and here at mgwashington.com and the Washington bureau of Media General News Service, we've sent our political blog, Herd on the Trail, off to a happy retirement. We've launched a new blog, Herd in Washington.

This is where you can read the latest about the dizzying changes coming to the nation’s capital with a new Congress and the presidency of Barack Obama. We’ll keep you posted on inaugural festivities, the transition and what’s happening on Capitol Hill as Democrats take control of both the executive and legislative branch.

We draw on staff reporting from our team of talented multimedia journalists and point you to the best from Media General’s newspaper and TV coverage and other news sources and blogs from around the Internet.

Besides our blog, check out mgwashington.com for news coverage from Washington targeted to the 10 states where Media General has properties. Watch staff-produced videos, take our weekly news quiz, vote in the daily poll and read commentaries by yours truly.

And,for you political junkies, don’t worry. We’re already writing about the next campaign.

We’re also working on some new video moments and other cool stufff, so come back soon.

And remember, we want you to be part of the conversation. Be sure to register and comment on what you’ve read.

You’ll hear it on Herd.
