The Media Are Blogging

November 21, 2007

When we gathered this summer for the Academic New Media Summit, we heard from members of the print media that they are now in the 24-hour news game. They are blogging, they need video and they are getting increasingly involved online as individuals and as companies. Let's take a quick look at some of the blogging that mainstream media is up to.

1. The Gray Lady, the New York Times, is now up to 45 blogs offered at NYTimes.com. All are rss-enabled and include blogs focused on pretty much everything it covers. One I think is particularly interesting is The Lede which follows a story as it spirals off in a new direction.

2. In France, Radio France now features a dozen blogs. Many of the blogs are fairly new, with archives only going back 2-6 months, but the posts are generating comments. Of course it isn’t only blogs, Radio France also has an extensive library of podcasts.

3. Italy has two major dailies and both are blogging. The Corriere della Sera features four blogs (and stunning photography) and Repubblica offers a number of blogs using Kata Web, which also offers readers a chance to create their own blogs.

4. In Korea, citizen journalists and freelancers contribute to OhmyNews International which is written in both Korean and English. The site also includes podcasts to let readers hear the writers in their own voices.

5. Another great resource is the European Journalism Centre. You can click on any country and read a report on the major outlets of the country. Most of them are starting to try blogging in some fashion. Some reports even include a civil media list for the country.

What mainstream press blogs that you love to read have I left off the list?
