TechFlash doing fine in Seattle

Monica Guzman of SeattlePI.com writes about the new media outlets that have cropped up in Seattle since the Post-Intelligencer stopped publishing last year.

Guzman looks at TechFlash, a site launched by the Puget Sound Business Journal being run by former P-I business reporters Todd Bishop and John Cook.

She writes, “The site, a unit of the Business Journal hosted on its own Web domain, serves up more than just original reports on the Seattle tech and venture capital scene by Cook, Bishop and contributor Eric Engleman.

“Bishop and Cook also round up guest posts from local techies, maintain a geek guide to Seattle and organize events — like the popular Techflash ping-pong tournament — to keep people talking.

“‘It’s not traditional ink and paper journalism or even bits and bytes journalism — it’s in-person journalism,’ Bishop said. ‘Journalism isn’t only about giving a community information. It’s about helping to build that community up.'”
