Reformational online journalism: developing a workgroup of journalists + fictional characters

Owlb is the general editor of this 5-pages blog refWrite. He has invited me (as yet I am only a fictional character who writes, most often here, the juridical and the political blog-entries for refWrite) to write and post under my own name, much as a real-life real-person specialist political journalist.

Owlb, general editor (or actually the real live person behind the 1st character Owlb and the second ["myself"] Politicarp--namely, Albert Gedraitis, publisher), says he wants to simulate a staff of blogging journalists by devising several alter egos, using them toward a possible future reformational online journalism on a near-daily basis, a practice that conceivably could occur sometime as the product of a real live reformational work-community in such journalism. It can be simulated now. So, as of today the simulation will deepen a small bit, since now we've learned how to create blog-entry posts by two different characters: me Politcarp and my general editor, Owlb whose blog-entry portfolio includes economics (also here on the frontpage), pisteutics and ethics (refWrite page 2). And so on.

Proceeding in this direction also deepens the aesthetic aspect of this blog. For that reason I've refer the reader to blogs and websites that, in far different contexts and with far different purposes, dwell on "characters" as bloggers, as a new dimension of writerly arts in blogging and webbing--usually these being more geared to short stories and novelistic genres of writing.

This British example is quite different and yet provides another new vista, perhaps less savoury twist on the blogging practice when aesthetically opened-up.

There's also this: The Mumpsimus.

Along with Anaximaximum and Owlie Scowlie (refWrite backpage), this 5-page blog will look for more blogs and websites that nuance further the present blog-entry's theme of developing fictional characters, one of whom signs the post below.
