Vacation’s over and I’m back online catching up on news and emails. I appreciate Dov Smith of HonestReporting Canada and editor of the Headlines & Deadlines blog for keeping Backspin’s fires stoked in my absence.

When I announced on June 6 that Dov would be guest-blogging, one reader’s comment noted my use of first-person singular, without identifying myself. A fair question.

My name is Pesach Benson, and I’m HonestReporting’s senior researcher and analyst. I joined the HR staff in 2001, began writing for Backspin in 2004, and became blog editor in 2005. Although there are no co-bloggers, I exclusively used first-person plural “we” because Backspin is the official blog of HonestReporting.

So “I” wasn’t relevant–until a few days ago when I wanted to let readers know I’d be away. Bottom line: “I” may occasionally appear in future posts.
