DEAR OPRAH,
DEAR OPRAH,
Hi, I know I just wrote to you a few months ago, but Steve Rubel had this awesome idea and I just couldn’t resist.
As always thank you for your program. Every day it provides rich inspiration to millions of Americans (and free cars to a select lucky few!). As a major media personality, you might be aware of a growing phenomenon called “blogging” – short for web logging. To my knowledge you haven’t had any bloggers on your program but now might be a great time to do so.
Blogging has empowered more than 8 million citizens worldwide to do great things. Some are citizen journalists. They report news and even occasionally fact-check the media as well. Dan Rather experienced this first hand, as I am sure you have heard. Other bloggers are using the personal publishing medium to express their pain and find spiritual guidance as they battle terrible diseases – such as cancer. Meanwhile thousands of employees inside corporate America are blogging and there are even celebrity bloggers as well.
I am one of these eight million bloggers. I blog on current events at http://www.clarified.blogspot.com. If you would like my assistance in finding great bloggers for your program, please contact me at dawnsummers3000 at yahoo.com
Thank you for your time and for listening.
Sincerely,
Dawn Summers
PS – You should have your own blog too. Rosie does!
