A Blog For Beltway Flacks ... And More New Blogs

First came word that a blog had hired a press secretary. Now press secretaries and other flacks in Washington have a blog written just for and about them. It went online a week ago.

It's called Potomac Flacks and is written by Adam Kovacevich, an assistant vice president at Dittus Communications and a former spokesman for the Information Technology Industry Council. He sees his mission as "chronicling the highs, lows, quips, quotes, comings and goings of Washington, D.C., spokesguys and spokesgals."

Earlier this week, Kovacevich had an interesting post on how blogs are being used in lobbying campaigns. The entry referenced a story on the topic in the Washington Examiner.

Potomac Flacks is now part of the blogroll in the left margin of Beltway Blogroll. It's in the media category.

I've also added a few other blogs I discovered in the past couple of months. They are:

-- Consumer Law & Policy Blog, a production of Public Citizen;
-- The Freedom Talks Blog, which is connected with FreedomWorks, the conservative forum run by former House Majority Leader Richard Armey, R-Texas;
-- Medical Matters, a group blog created by VOLPAC, the political action committee of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.;
-- National Security Advisors, a group blog on national security law that is written by three law professors;
-- The Oil Drum, whose topics include energy policy;
-- Overdrive, which is published by the American Bus Association;
-- And PolicyBeta, a work of the Center for Democracy and Technology.

The blog of Pollster.com also is linked in the campaigns category of the blogroll now. It replaces Mystery Pollster. The two entities recently merged.
