Regional Media strategy
The new blogs include three regional media gossip blogs for New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, under the “fishbowl” name, that is aiming to provide an irreverent insider glimpse into media happenings in three of the largest markets in the United States.

The three sites, fishbowlNY.com, fishbowlDC.com and fishbowlLA.com will provide daily commentary on the people, events and ideas that shape media culture in the three cities.
The three blogs are suppliments with UnBeige.com is mediabistro’s new blog about design and MBToolbox.com is a service-oriented blog for writers and journalists that will link to useful resources and provide tips and commentary on writing and editing.
