When news breaks, The Washington Independent reports it. And when The Washington Independent make the news, we post it here.

The New Yorker, Eric Alterman on "The Death and Life of the American Newspaper":

It’s one of a family of news-blogging sites meant to pick up some of the slack left by declining staffs in local and Washington reporting, with the hope of expanding everywhere.
