Welcome to this week's edition of "Ask me anything about Daily Kos." As Markos
put it when he announced this new, regular feature last week, "you guys learn more about what we're up to, and we learn more about what you guys want, need, and find important." So from week to week, staff members from editorial, activism and the technical end of things—along with monthly appearances by Markos—will be here to answer your questions. And this week it's my turn.
I'm the Managing Editor of Daily Kos. Besides the various, more mundane things I do behind the scenes, in a nutshell, I assign the stories to the editorial staff, determine the focus of what our coverage will be on any given day, and when and for how long posts run on the front page. So if you think there's too much of this or too little of that, blame me. Gently, please.
And with that, the floor is open for questions ...
