What to write? How to introduce myself? How to introduce the
blog? I am full of trepidation as I make this first foray into the blogosphere:
what if no-one reads my musings? Is this a mere vanity project? Do I care?
What is The Red
Gazette? In essence it is inspired by the newspapermen of the Enlightenment.
During this era many newspapers came into existence to push a particular
viewpoint and then would go out of existence some months or years later as the
originator of the newspaper either lost interest or financial backing. I
believe that in this Digital Age the blog has taken the place of these original
Enlightenment newspapers and this is what I intent The Red Gazette to be: a modern equivalent to the Enlightenment
opinion piece.
No small feat, then. The
Red Gazette is intended to be a platform for my (and the occasional guest) musings
on current (and historic) events. Hopefully what follows in the coming weeks
and months will interest someone. Hopefully someone will read what I write.
