Bio
Southern fried iconoclast and Atlanta native Kimberly Krautter is The Anti-Coulter. She blogs about the intersection of public communications and public policy with a side order of musings on pop culture. For 22 years, Ms. Krautter has been a strategic communications consultant to Fortune 500 and emerging industry companies as well as a freelance journalist published in business magazines in the U.S., U.K. and France. Her social commentary has been featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution with light-hearted series featured in Atlanta magazine and others. A popular early blogger, "The Body Politic" was originally hosted on Typepad and has now migrated to Open Salon. Known to have the swiftest soapbox in the South and for being staunchly anti-wing nut, Ms. Krautter believes, "Liberal is not a four-letter word, for that matter neither is Conservative, and solutions are found in the Sensible Center where people are eager to speak with each other instead of just being heard." She is currently authoring a major journalistic work titled "Foreclosure on the Fourth Estate: How spin-fluence and info-tainment killed the American newspaper."

Simply stated, I'm all for it! We need to get beyond the belief that all good things on the Internet are free. And we all need to stand tall in the value of our own good work and what our contributions bring to the forum/entity.

 Now, I do believe that if ads appear on our blogs that we should share in the revenue. Since we are not paid contributors, that would only be fair.

 You see... I told you I was a centrist. I believe in protecting civil rights and for equal access to health care, but I'm also an avowed capitalist. These things are not mutualy exclusive.

Cheers!
