Audio This News is So Gay (12/24/25): Exploring the Importance of Blogs in the LGBTQ+ Journalism Landscape

Here’s what we’re covering on this week’s brand new episode of This News is So Gay:

• How have blogs evolved and what space do they occupy now as we report the news?
• What are the barriers to blogging, including relationships with “legacy” newsrooms?
• What is the absolute raw power of blogs and the impact they can have?
• And, of course, queer joy. Where is our blogging roundtable finding queer joy in the news right now?

Joining us this week to answer those questions and and so many more are:

• Creator of Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents, Sue Kerr.
• Creator of My Fabulous Disease, Mark S. King.
• Hosted by Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame.
