The New York Sun has an article about the effort by Roger Simon and others to launch a blogger news network:

In a dramatic sign that Web logs are going mainstream, three of the largest political blogs are banding together to form what is believed to be a first-of-its kind ad-supported network.

To broaden their appeal beyond national security issues, the three - ArmedLiberal.com, RogerLSimon.com, and LittleGreenFootballs.com - will receive editorial advice from the owner of one of the most heavily trafficked blogs, Instapundit.com’s Glenn Reynolds, among others.

The venture will be called Pajamas Media, a not-so-subtle reference to the September remarks of a CNN executive, Jonathan Klein, who said a typical blogger has “no checks and balances” and is just “a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas.”

Impeccable timing: The news of this groundbreaking venture comes as newspaper circulation figures plummet. Here’s how to get in on the action if you haven’t already signed up.
