Blogs The Famous Media Reads: Anne Schroeder

April 17, 2006 at 8:01 am

Now, the next installment in Extreme Mortman’s regular feature: a peek inside the blog-reading habits of our nation’s top reporters and media celebrities. And what a delightful treat we have today. Capitol File Executive Editor Anne Schroeder. Anne brought her savvy access from The Washington Post’s boldfaced “Names & Faces” where, filing daily, she worked closely with “Reliable Source’s” Richard Leiby and his predecessor Lloyd Grove, now with the New York Daily News. Prior to joining The Washington Post, Schroeder oversaw the highly praised “Green Room” at CNN’s Washington, DC, bureau, catering to the nation’s most glamorous and powerful personalities. Schroeder tells Extreme Mortman: “I’m thrilled by my move from Washington¹s must-read column to the city¹s new must-read magazine.”

Now, please give a warm Extreme welcome to the very lovely and talented Anne Schroeder — here are the blogs she tells Extreme Mortman she reads:

The truth is, love blogs as I do, I just don’t read a ton of them. I check out the basics in the a.m.: Starting the day with National Journal’s Wake Up Call — thanks to my good buddy Danielle Jones — Drudge, ABC’s The Note, The Fix on WashingtonPost.com [note — click here to see which blogs Chris Cillizza reads], FishbowlDC, Wonkette, Gawker and Defamer. And who forgets Daily Kos and Romenesko? Plus HuffingtonPost, depending.

At 4p. I rush (surf, whatever) back to The Hotline as I can’t live without my “Shot and Chasers” from “Last Call.”

When I remember (sorry Joel) I absolutely read Achenblog (Washingtonpost.com) who is one of the funniest writers around.

And when I find that I’m yearning to know what celebs are doing while walking down a sidewalk, shopping, drinking coffee, exiting a bar -or a car- I check out the nitty gritty gossipy sites such as bricksandstones.com, gossipwonk.com, and wesmirch.com. Guilty pleasure, what can I say? (I’m not proud.)
