Hit & Run
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See Hit and run for other meanings of this expression.
Hit & Run is the group blog of the magazine Reason. It is maintained and written by the staff of the magazine. It was started in 2002. Reason Editor-in-Chief Nick Gillespie and Reason Web Editor Tim Cavanaugh, both veterans of Suck.com, modelled the blog in some ways after that website: they brought along several other Suck.com writers to contribute, fostered a style in the blog matching that former website's sarcastic attitude, and even the name "Hit & Run" was taken from what had been a weekly news roundup column on Suck.com. The Reason editors referred to this co-opting of the former website as the "Suck-ification of Reason." [1]
In 2005, Hit & Run was named as one of the best political blogs by Playboy Magazine.
Hit & Run commenters have spun off a separate site, grylliade.org, for extra commentary, and have organized several social gatherings.
