The four types of blogger at Davos


The Telegraph may have Martin Sorrell and Ben Verwaayen blogging from here in Davos, but the FT is covering the waterfront with half a dozen or so blogging participants.

There’s an interesting piece on Sovereign Wealth Funds from Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley.

But broadly the wider Davos blogging canvas looks like this:

  • faux modest self-censors (politicians/some CEOs)
  • self-serving agenda-pushers (NGO types/some CEOs/think tankers)
  • insightful insiders (some economists)
  • informed observers (pot luck/some journos)

So the Telegraph, with two bloggers, gets a 50 per cent strike rate (thanks to Sorrell). But hedging its bets, the FT only really scores with Roach and Davies, from a line-up of eleven.

Still, there is more post content over at the FT.

I like to think of myself as faux modest with some self-serving, self-censorship thrown in for good measure.

Which type of blogger are you?

  1. I guess I’m an informed observer. Although, I like to think of myself as a crazy lady with a computer.
