Blog #3

The Carpetbagger, a blog written by New York Times blogger Melena Ryzik, is the award season blog for the Times. Its sole focus is on award ceremonies such as the Oscar's and Golden Globes. Ryzik writes about potential nominees and winners of awards as well as movie announcements and celebrity news. The purpose of her blog is without a doubt to entertain, but she shy's away from "celebrity gossip" and only blogs about factual events, such as interviews and speeches having to do with awards shows or new movies. She also gives attention to small documentaries and up and rising actors.

Bookish is a Houston Chronicle blog that keeps readers informed about new books and authors as well as technology like e-readers and how they affect he sale if print books. There is a major difference between Bookish and The Carpetbagger in that  The Carpetbagger's webpage is far more organized and appealing than that of Bookish, and The Carpetbagger writes on a more wide range of topics.
