Reviews"It's the Jon Stewart version of the venerable political column. Political junkies will enjoy Dome, of course, but so will others who don't care as much about politics as they do about issues, people who enjoy the characters, drama and occasional silliness of the whole business." — Melanie Sill, former executive editor "If you're not reading the Under the Dome blog at the News and Observer, you should be. Ryan Teague Beckwith is doing a great job covering fresh stories in state politics, and the discussions are often eye-opening." — James Protzman, blogger "Ryan Teague Beckwith, who does the Dome blog, has breathed new life into the old standby. He updates it throughout the day. And he’s made it must reading in Raleigh again. Not just every day, but every hour." — Gary Pearce, political consultant "Beckwith's goal is for the blog to be a huge drag on productivity across the state. From the looks of our readership numbers, he's succeeding." — John Drescher, executive editor "The N&O’s Under the Dome Blog has become one of the most influential news and information sources on politics in North Carolina. It is timely, it is interesting and, most importantly, it is accurate and credible." — Leroy Towns, UNC-Chapel Hill journalism professor "Dome made the move to the blogosphere in 2007 and cemented itself as the dominant purveyor of political news (often breaking) and gossip in North Carolina. Dome is updated constantly each day (thanks in large part to the tireless efforts of lead Domer Ryan Teague Beckwith) and includes breaking news, as well as video and audio snippets of meetings and events." — Jay Eubank, UNC-Chapel Hill career services director
