Some blogs to look at in class

Here's a few sites I'd like you to look at. I'm not going to say anything about them. The idea is that you look at each one and tell me what it's about, what kind of use it's making of the web, what kind of blog it is and whether you think it qualifies as 'journalism'.

I am Fashion

Go Fug Yourself

Hecklerspray

Punk Football

Who Ate All The Pies

Hippy Shopper

World Changing

Back To Iraq

Where is Raed?

Baghdad Burning

H5N1

Greenslade

VickyWatch

Andrew Sullivan

Collision Detection

Outside

OK - that's more than enough to be going on with. I'm not expecting you to look at all of these - just look around at a few - then start writing a review of one you find interesting. We may not get chance to finish this in class. If not, finish it off for next week.

One thing you could look at after class. BBC Radio 4 recently did a short series called Meet The Bloggers, which looked at blogs and the bloggers behind them. Follow the link and you can listen to the shows (they're only fifteen minutes long) or the unedited original interviews.
