Blogging Inspiration

Today we're going to continue to work with our blogs, exploring the web to find sources from which to get inspired for "issues oriented" blog posts. At this point, you should already have two posts, an introductory one and a post about the story on the confederate battle flag at the Virginia High School. For your next post this week, you are welcome to continue to explore issues raised by that article or find another issue to post about. There are many different sources that may inspire you to post. Please explore the following and find at least one other article or film that you would like to respond to for your final post for this week's assignment.
"Mainstream" News Sources
CNN
Fox
Chicago Tribune
NY Times

Sometimes however, better (more provocative and interesting) sources come from other blogs. Some interesting ones that I've found are:
The Huffington Post
Slate
Salon
Drudge
Politico

Magazines are also good sources
The Atlantic
National Review
Rolling Stone

Documentaries can be provocative as well.
Frontline

Once you have read your article (or watched your documentary) write a post on what you read or saw. Then take a look at the list below.  When you are finished with your post, read the blogs of your partners (follow them by email if they've set up that gadget) and then post a comment to something that they wrote in any of their posts except their intro.
