My Article in Tomorrow’s Wall Street Journal: One Large Step for Lee, One Small Step for Blog-kind

Mainstream media editors generally don’t like bloggers to pitch ideas about which they’ve already posted.
So imagine my surprise when, a few weeks back, I got a call from my Wall Street Journal editor, asking me to expand on a CultureGrrl post. I’d like to think that a blog post is a quick preparatory sketch, and a subsequent magazine or newspaper article (or maybe a major motion picture!) is the finished masterpiece. The reluctance of veteran editors to see it that way is already changing with the times (and at the LA Times).
So what exactly WAS the provocative post that I was asked to expand upon? Go here to find out.
Y’all come back to visit me late tonight, when I’ll post the link to the WSJ piece that will enliven tomorrow’s paper.
