The 50 most powerful blogs was an interesting and informative read. It ventured into many of the world's most popular blogs and gave a short summary of what each blog represented. As the world shifts towards a more online centered community, the idea of blogs gives not only the average person the ability to reflect on the news but gives us insight from some of the people actually reporting.
Of the large list given, I picked two that I rather enjoy. The first being Perez Hilton. I know it's a bit of trashy journalism but it is rather addicting. It's a blog that I follow quite frequently and although what celebrities do in their everyday lives isn't very newsworthy, it's completely entertaining.
The second is the Huffington Post. Although I would rather fill my mind with useless entertainment jargon, to keep up with the actual world I read the Huffington Post. It gives insight into hot topics and even included political opinions.
As blogs become more mainstream, reporters will rely more heavily on their insight. It's the journalist's job to cover what is important to their audience and the blog is an easy tool to reach out and see what really matters to their readers.
