Magazine Features Okie Funk

Okie Funk is featured in the November issue of Oklahoma Magazine.

The magazine lists “75 Great Oklahoma Websites” and features seven blogs, including Okie Funk, in individual stories.

Oklahoma Magazine writer Jami Mattox writes, “Okie Funk is the blogchild of Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, professor of English at the University of Central Oklahoma. Tired of the under-representation, Hochenauer began the blog to add a liberal voice to a state that is traditionally known to be conservative. Okie Funk has since been recognized by the Okie Blog Awards as the best political blog in the state.”

The magazine does an excellent job giving an overall view of the Oklahoma blogging community. This is difficult because the number of blogs keeps growing even as other blogs become inactive. The diversity of the blogging community can also make it difficult to keep tabs on everything going on.

The Lost Ogle, which I think is the best overall blog in the state right now, is also featured in the magazine spread.

Oklahoma Magazine does a great job putting their publication online, which can be found here.
