Newspaper Blogs – Houston Chronicle Stands Out

I was interested in seeing how major U.S. newspapers compare when it comes to highlighting their columnists’ blogs on their homepages. The Houston Chronicle is the only one that really seems to do a good job of it, with a top level menu tab labeled “Blogs“. Honorable mentions: the Washington Post highlights their online Discussions with a top level menu tab. The Denver Post highlights their Bloghouse (not really sure what it is, either), but it would be more helpful if they also directed you to a list of the blogs themselves. Still, they do give prominent links to their podcasts and multimedia content.
Media surveyed: NY Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, CNN, LA Times, Baltimore Sun, Denver Post, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and the Miami Herald.
