Jay Rosen has a new blog called The Blue Plate Special that kicks off with a bang — the first topic is a study on blogging at the top 100 U.S. newspapers, which was conducted by Rosen and 17 of his undergraduate and graduate students.
The study itself is informative, and it picks the best papers in terms of blogging (The Houston Chronicle, The Washington Post and USA Today are the top three papers). But the best thing about the research is an extensive chart that details the blogging efforts at all 100 newspapers, including detailed breakdowns of blog topics and URLs.
The Blue Plate Special should pick itself as a winner of some kind of blogging award for setting a very high standard for blogs — it’s not often that I find this kind of meaty material in a blog.
