GOP STEPS UP PRESENCE WITH VETERAN OF YAHOO, MSN
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Jose Antonio Vargas]
A few weeks ago, Cyrus Krohn, 36, left a job with Yahoo in Santa Monica, Calif., to become director of the Republican National Committee's eCampaign department. The lifelong Republican's task is to help the GOP, the party that mastered direct mail and talk radio, do the same with the Internet. Michael Kinsley, his old boss at Slate, said of Krohn: "He's a really nice guy, and he's really an operator. That's a rare combination." Krohn is one of the speakers today at a conference hosted by Google and the Heritage Foundation designed to teach Hill staffers and conservative activists about the promise (and possible perils) of the new media landscape.
