The new agreement will unite citizen broadcasting and citizen journalism extending the reach of Pajama Media contributors with a new BlogTalkRadio channel called, “Pajamas Media Radio”. The new channel will provide Pajama Media contributors with the ability to host their own talk radio show, share their views and opinions and conduct live interactive discussions to complement their written commentary.

Simon, CEO and co-founder of Pajamas Media. “We’re pleased to have entered this agreement. We look forward to extending these citizen-journalism networks as credible sources of information.”
Commenting on the announcement, Alan Levy, CEO and co-founder of BlogTalkRadio stated, “The BlogTalkRadio network is the perfect platform for Pajamas Media contributors to verbally express themselves. Pajama Media contributors now can host debates and panel discussions in a live, interactive public forum that cannot be duplicated in print.”
