Bell chimes in over Turbinegate 'local blogger' slur

Guardian News & Media's director of digital content, Emily Bell, may have been described as a "local blogger for a small newspaper group" by the Sun today, but she is not taking it lying down. "This is the type of attitude we local bloggers find typical of the sneering metropolitan media elite and the champagne socialists at the Sun and I know I would have a much more sensible conversation about the future of journalism with [football blogger] Rick Waghorn than [Sun editor] Rebekah Wade," Bell told Monkey.
