After logging into Google Reader this afternoon, I was presented with a link that brought me to the page above. It features lists of blogs that journalists, foodies, and tech bloggers read. I decided to go through the entire listing and was struck by the fact that so many of the journalists are from the New York Times….
News:
- Thomas Friedman, NY Times
- Paul Krugman, NY Times
- Nicholas Kristof, NY Times
- Dexter Filkins, NY Times
- Charles Blow, NY Times
- Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post
- Michelle Malkin, Hot Air
- Patrick Ruffini, The Next Right
- John Dickerson, Slate
- Markos Moulitsas, Daily Kos
Tech and Web:
- Chris Anderson, Wired
- Adam Pash, Lifehacker
- Mark Frauenfelder, Boing Boing
- Alex Papadimoulis, The Daily WTF
- Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land
- Jason Kottke, Kottke.org
- Annalee Newitz, io9
- Meaghan O’Neill, TreeHugger.com & PlanetGreen.com
- Ben Popken, The Consumerist
Food and Health:
- Mark Bittman, NY Times
- Tara Parker-Pope, NY Times
- Béatrice Peltre, La Tartine Gourmande
- Faith Durand, The Kitchn
Trends and Fashion:
- Cathy Horyn, NY Times
- Abby Gardner, Fashionista
- Danielle de Lange, The Style Files
- Carrie Leber, Bloomacious
I think the overall listing is decent, but what about journalists from other newspapers? Most of the journalists & bloggers listed above do not have a daily printed edition of their reporting. Only the New York Times has a daily printed edition. So what about the reporters from the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, etc., who have their writings published each day? I bet they read blogs too. The New York Times might be one of the best & largest daily newspapers in the country, but Google should have reached out for a wider range of journalists from other cities around America.
