Well, it’s finally here. The first ever newspaper dedicated to only blogs. Packed with feature posts and other great writings floating around the blogoshere, TheIssue is here to bring you the latest blogging news as told by bloggers. Below is the press release that became available earlier today.

Launch of TheIssue.com - The First Blog Newspaper

TheIssue.com, the Internet’s first blog newspaper, is proud to announce its launch to the public on August 27th, 2007. TheIssue.com is a first to market online news destination that exclusively features blog articles and other citizen media. Despite the exploding popularity of blogs and their evolution from Internet curiosities into serious media destinations, there is currently no viable “blog only” newspaper replacement. TheIssue.com fills this gap.

Stephen Puschel, cofounder, remarked, “The news helps to define the general perception of the world we live in. I think it’s critical that this perception is not just dominated by large corporations, but that individual voices can have an influence.” Matt Dalio, cofounder, said, “By harnessing the diversity of the blogosphere, we can serve as a window into any perspective, helping our readers develop a three dimensional understanding of every issue we cover.”

TheIssue.com is a new and completely unique breed of digital media provider. Articles are handpicked from a regularly updated database of thousands of high quality blogs in order to provide readers with a breadth of perspective and depth of reporting not currently offered by any existing single news source.

Andrew Puschel, Chief Marketing Officer, stated, “We are incredibly excited to fill what we think is an obvious niche in online news. TheIssue.com is truly unique in that it provides a vehicle for the average reader to benefit from the wealth of perspectives and information found within the blogosphere.”

A blog, short for weblog, is a website in which an individual or group produces periodic entries that are displayed in reverse chronological order. The range of topics written on by bloggers is practically limitless. It is possible to find blogs on subjects as common as gardening, as esoteric as nuclear fission, and as offbeat as one can imagine. While their quality ranges as widely as their subject matter, many blogs are recognized for their excellence, acumen, and candor. “Most bloggers are writing on what they care about, so there’s an honesty and genuineness there that news really needs,” commented Joshua Haas, Chief Technology Officer.

Over a quarter of all Americans have visited at least one blog, and many of these individuals turn to blogs as their primary news sources. Despite this unprecedented popularity there exists no viable option for readers simply looking to get high quality daily news from the blogosphere. Until now.

Readers of TheIssue.com will have free and unprecedented access to blog articles handpicked by an editorial team for relevance, quality, and diversity of perspective. The home page features headline news, news by genre, a What Ever Happened To… section, and The Issue of the Day–a deep dive into a particular topic featuring contrasting perspectives from multiple articles. Old content will be archived for easy access in the future.

Founded in 2007, TheIssue.com aims to provide readers of online news with a way to access the best content of the blogosphere using a familiar and intuitive interface.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 27, 2007 — Announcing the official launch of TheIssue.com - the Internet’s first blog newspaper. Editorial team culls blogosphere for articles of the highest quality, relevance and most unique perspectives. Readers of TheIssue.com have free and complete access to “best of the blogosphere” content. No article selection is ever arbitrary or automated.

There are several excellent sources for grabbing content for your blog, but very few also allow you to make a little money as well. The NewsRoom (TNR) is one such site that offers a wide variety of content rich videos and articles that you can freely add to your blog and earn many on a CPM basis.

TNR pays you for every “Mash” your video or article receives. You can imagine the possibilities if you are the first blog to get your hands on a “breaking” story. Although you won’t get rich from TNR you can definitely use their content to make a few extra bucks online.

So what exactly is the pay scale? Glad you asked:

Here is how you get paid! Each time you mash video or video feeds to your site and it is played by your viewers, you’ll earn a guaranteed CPM (cost per thousand). Additionally, you will get paid each time you mash text or an image and it is rendered or drawn by your viewers. As a registered participant of TheNewsRoom, we track your success.

See our CPM payout structure below. All the following info was taken from The NewsRoom’s site.

If you want to be paid when free, licensed news from TheNewsRoom is viewed on your site, simply register with your payment information — and start mashing!

As you can see, it’s pretty simple to add some revenue to your blog while also adding quality content. Below is an example of a video regarding some interesting tech news that is “mashable”.

I have just finished reading the free report from Sitefever.com’s John Robinson and I have to say that it’s outstanding. If you have any desire in growing your blog’s traffic and turning your blog into an overnight (figure of speech) success, you really need to take the time and read this free report. “Blog Traffic Made Easy” is by far one of the easiest, most detailed report you will ever read on the subject of increasing blog traffic.

The report covers everything you will ever need to know as it pertains to building your blog traffic. Some of the topics include: goal setting, registering a domain, best Wordpress plugins, updated ping list and many, many more.

I highly recommend that you take a little time out of your day and read this free report. Unlike many free reports you see floating around the net, this one actually has no strings attached. No one time offer, list building techniques (you’re not even asked for your email address), nothing!

I personally would like to thank John for mentioning my blog in the report. He has put together a great product that he could easily package, grab some affiliates and make a ton of cash, but he has chosen to simply give it away.

Great work Sitefever!
