The Film Experience Blog
The blog's strengths are two fold. First is it's frequent updates. There are multiple posts per day, each detailing different ideas. The second is its diversity. The author has decided to take a specific medium and, rather than focus on a specific aspect, appears to try as much as possible to include every single portion. This means a discussion of foreign films (which only a select percentage of the population knows about) and blockbusters. Now, the blog has been active since 2004, and they have multiple writers working on it. It would be very difficult for a single author to do this, if not downright impossible. This is something to strive toward, certainly, but not something to emulate with a first blog.
The Monkey Cage
This blog is not updated as frequently and seems to take the role of an RSS feed at times rather than a full fledged blog, linking to several articles and not commenting as much as they could. Still, the articles are insightful and the data they present is not as well known as it should be. At the very least, the blog is meticulously researched and is graphically pleasing. The blog shows how helpful visual flair can be.
Journalistopia
This blog is very similar to The Monkey Cage in its form. The blog has also not been updated in quite some time - since July. Still, the blog's strength comes from the information that it provides. This is an examination of blogging and the technological driven world that we as a society currently inhabit. They promote certain innovations and certain websites that are vital to journalism and the increasing migration to blogging.
