The assignment for my class is to identify a top or influential blogger in my blog – as in that writes about the same topic as your blog – and link to that blog in this post.
Today I’m going to write about influential blogger Kelly Ann Collins. She runs her very successful website Glittarazzi. They cover social media and entertainment — with a focus on pop politics. I am also writing for them too which has led to interviews with Jim Courier, Henry Rollins and coverage of Ken Burns’ speech at the National Press Club.
Kelly Ann describes herself as “Start-up addict. Sharpie lover. White House junkie. GOP groupie. WV gal gone metro. USA today editor turned blog. Mantra: Drink more H2O.”
This is how Glittarazzi describes itself on its site:
WHAT IS GLITTARAZZI?
Delivering terse, informal content from an insider’s perspective, Glittarazzi is an online entertainment magazine that graces the iPads, laptops and phones of people who want to be in-the-know when it comes to news trends, pop politics, celebrity activism — and what’s hot in our nation’s capital.
WHO READS GLITTARAZZI?
From Capitol Hill staffers, ambassadors and lobbyists to teenagers, young professionals and senior citizens, Glittarazzi is read across the USA, around the world, and in our back yard: Washington, D.C.
WHY WE DO IT
Team Glittarazzi is committed to inspiring Americans to become more interested in the political process and social concerns through entertaining content about the movers and shakers that shape the District of Columbia and the United States — and thus shape our world.
What I admire about bloggers such as Kelly Ann Collins, Miss A’s Andrea Rodgers and others is their entrepreneurial spirits. They do good things for the community and inform people what is going on. In addition writing for them is so exciting. I have had so many amazing opportunities to meet such fascinating people and do amazing things.
