Online news guru Rob Curley lovin’ it in Vegas
David Hirschman of MediaBistro posted a terrific new interview with web news guru Rob Curley of Greenspun Interactive, a sister company of the Las Vegas Sun.
Our favorite excerpt:

So you’ve got all of that plus you’ve got a governor who vetoes something like 50 bills this legislative session. …I feel like I’ve died and gone to journalism heaven.
