Jillian Bandes of Roll Call ($) had a story in yesterday’s newspaper about our Modern Media Strategies Workshop, which was hosted by Heritage and Google last week.

Yours truly is quoted in the article:

“I always make the case to skeptical conservatives that blogging is important because two key constituencies read blogs: Washington journalists and Capitol Hill staffers,” said organizer Rob Bluey, director of the Center for Media and Public Policy at the Heritage Foundation. “When you’re trying to have an impact on public policy, you don’t get a much better audience than that.”

And my good friend David All had this to say:

“Most conservatives are starting to realize that learning to navigate the modern world of the Internet is not only necessary, but also a great return on investment,” said David All, a Republican media and internet consultant and founder of TechRepublican.com.

After debating Dean Barnett this week about the online right vs. online left, I look at Jillian’s article as affirmation that despite our differences, conservatives are making progress. It might be happening slowly, but it’s happening.
