When I  want a Danish angle on something that happened in the US would the US  blogger provide me with that? Very cute example. But what you want is a Danish person living in the US, who sees the event from as closely as possible, preferably one who was involved in the event. As opposed to a Danish reporter who happened to be in the neighborhood, providing you with his second-hand reporting as he selects quotes from interviewed witnesses later much later. YAHOO!
