Best Newspaper Blogs

According to a study conducted by the Blue Plate Special team from NYU (fifteen undergraduates in journalism, two grad students, and one professor), "the top blogging newspaper in the U.S. among major dailies . . . [is] the Houston Chronicle. By a mile." The State of Blogging at America's 100 Largest Newspapers presents their data in chart form, including information on the topics covered by each paper's blog, as well as providing the blog's URL. But not to prolong the suspense, the Specials, as they call themselves, identified six standout newspaper blogs and two honorable mentions:
