Says Capitol Inside `Breaking News Ahead of the Pack’
AUSTIN, TEXAS – Mike Hailey’s
Capitol Inside has drawn national attention and praise as the subject
of a feature story in the new edition of Campaigns
& Elections Magazine.
Capitol Inside “is credited with breaking
news ahead of the pack,” the magazine reports in the December-January
issue in an article by Editor-in-Chief David Mark.
The C&E story
says that the Austin-based web site “is read widely by Texas
capital power players” including lawmakers, lobbyists, journalists,
state government workers and others. It describes Hailey’s
experience as a veteran political journalist and press secretary
for the late Lieutenant Governor Bob Bullock - and it examines the
trail he has been blazing for the past 11 months as the founder
and editor of an online news service that has “really taken
off” while competing daily against the state’s largest
newspapers and other print publications.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be
showcased in a national publication that’s known far and wide
as the best in the business at what it does,” Hailey said.
“It’s all the more gratifying when you consider the
enormous challenge Capitol Inside faced starting out in one of the
most competitive political news markets in the world.
“The web site has been successful because
it’s unique, entertaining, rich in information and willing
to go places where the contemporary press has never been,’
Hailey said. “We’re giving our readers a product that’s
never been available to them before - and most seem to love it.
To be featured in Campaigns & Elections is icing on the cake.
“Capitol Inside isn’t a job,”
Hailey said. “It’s an adventure.”
