Conrad Black blogging from the big house
Chicago Tribune, United States
But the blog post from federal inmate No. 18330-424, the Canadian former press baron convicted of defrauding the Sun-Times and his company’s other newspapers, appeared Wednesday in The Daily Beast, famous magazine editor Tina Brown’s foray into Web publishing.

Black, who now has just one residence, at the low-security Coleman Federal Correctional Complex near Orlando, argues that Republican presidential nominee McCain blew it by not taking charge of the federal financial bailout and negotiating a taxpayer-friendly deal. Comments on the piece range from supportive (“Go Conrad Go!”) to harshly critical (“Since when did we take advice from corporate kleptocrats?”).

Blogs can facilitate communications among small groups or to a worldwide audience in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than traditional email or discussion forums.
