It has begun.

A year in the making and The Temple News blog, led by our online editor Sean Blanda, is established. It will be a few weeks before we promote its existence, so look for welcomes from a handful of contributors. We’ll have daily posts about Temple, Philadelphia and beyond. They’ll be short, timely, and interesting. See it as a daily supplement to our weekly print product and our extended online edition. Expect a perspective that fits my role as TTN Opinion editor and weekly columnist.

I have previously blogged for NBC and reported for the Philadelphia Inquirer but am eager for this product to be different. Let me know what you want to see and what you expect.
