1. Jennifer Steinhauer writes for a blog called “The Caucus” on The New York Times. She writes about the current government policies. Many of her blogs including “South Carolina Governor Closing In on Replacement for DeMint” talks about elections and members of the government. These articles are interesting because I like to know which policy makers are representing me. Her most recent article “Leahy Introduces Modest Gun Safety Measure in the Senate” talks about the steps taken toward gun control. Even though no bill has been passed, I’d like to be kept up to date about the possible solutions to this problem.
2. Cathy Horyn writes for a blog called “On the Runway” on The New York Times. Horyn blogs about fashion and trends of major designers. Some of her articles criticizes fashion decisions while others praise the newest designs. What i like about this blogger is that she blogs regularly, sometimes daily. Her blog “Waiting for Alexander” talks about Balenciaga hiring Alexander Wang and dishes on the collaborations on fashion companies.

The blogs on espn have lots of different writers that cover everything in sports. Each writer has their own viewpoint on the different events in sports. I like reading all the different writers because they always write about the same sport so I know I am listening to an expert. My favorite blogger is David Ubben because he writes about Big 12 football.
2. http://www.houstonsportblog.com/
This blog writes about local sports instead of all sports. This blog is very specialized on all the local teams which are my favorite teams. It keeps me up to date on all the events happening about the Rockets, Astros, and the Texans. It gets updated everyday.

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.

1) Mark Mardell blogs for the BBC about American affairs and politics. He covers social, economic, and political issues present in the US, primarily for a UK audience. However, I read his blog because it is interesting how others perceive the US, especially how the US' main ally perceives the US. He was the BBC's Europe correspondent before being assigned to Washington, and this displays in his writing because sometimes he compares European history with US current affairs.
2) Roger Cohen is the foreign editor for the International Herald Times and the New York Times. Previously he was a foreign correspondent. He provides commentary on both foreign and domestic affairs, most recently on gun control and the Middle East. His commentary is from his own perspective, with no party affiliation. His views on the Middle East often contradict other journalists from other papers.

1. Jerome Solomon is a sports blog writer for the
Houston Chronicle. He mainly writes about the Texans, but occasionally strays
away from football and discusses major sports news, such as the Lance Armstrong
scandal. I read his blog because I like to follow the Texans and get insight as
to what to expect from the team.
2. Emma Bryce writes for Green, The New York Time's blog
about the energy and the environment. Usually, she focuses on a specific food
or crop and discusses how that food or crop affects us. In addition, she also blogs
about important world events, such as Hurricane Sandy and the revolution
happening in Libya. I read her blog because I always learn something about how
food and other resources can change the world.

The range of topics written about on Park & Cube go from the best beauty products sold in Japan to hidden places to eat in Intanbul.

1. Julie Zeilinger writes a popular blog called the F-bomb. She is is originally from Pepper Pike, Ohio and is currently a member of the Barnard College Class of 2015. Julie and the FBomb have been featured in media outlets such as The Daily Beast, More Magazine, Women’s Day and Salon amongst others. Zeilinger’s site is more than just typical teenage angst, hosting an array of voices who aren’t afraid to speak up about what they think is wrong. I am interested in her blog because I want to become active in the feminist moment and stay updated on topics and events.

Greta Van Susteren keeps a blog called GretaWire to keep readers updated on current wordly events. I enjoy this blog because Greta oftens posts videos and pictures, which allows for a more visual update. It is nice to not have to read and decipher political lingo. These videos are often videos that were played as clips in her news show, but it is nice to be able to watch them whenever I want, not just during her hour on air. The videos put a name, face, and voice with the topic being reported on. Additionally, she often posts behind the scenes pictures of her interviews - it is interesting to discover all that goes in to a brief evening news clip.
In the blog Celesto News, the author follows various celebrities from Ashley Tisdale to Jennifer Aniston and Megan Fox. Shannon Filling keeps readers updated on who is wearing what, who is dating whom, who is where and what Hollywood's top names are doing. I read this blog often because I like to be in the loop on the lives of the people who seem to set today's trends. I especially enjoy this blog in particular because the author primarily reports the facts, without injecting her opinion. This allows me to form my own opinion without an outside persuasion.

1. In FOX411, the author follows entertainment sites, giving pictures of celebrities in every post and describing what is happening. Sometimes the posts are critical, and sometimes they are forgiving, but they are always at the heart of current entertainment. The author makes sure to get quotes from the featured celebrity and other parties.
2. In The Z Report, Lance Zierlein follows sports' teams specifically in Houston but also around the country. He is very critical, telling the hard truth about athletes, their performance, their strengths, their weaknesses and what they should offer teams in the future. As football season just came to a close for the Texans, he has recently posted a lot about the Texans and the Superbowl and statistics.
