There are several blogs by editors/copy editors as well.
Lastly, there are opinion/editorial blogs on almost every major newspaper now.

Possibly one for entertainment journalism. Some of the blogs on the list are clearly regional -- China, Middle East. Some are in Spanish, but those are from many countries. Some of the blogs in the category ARE journalism, while others are meta-journalism, or blogs ABOUT journalism. Dave Barry is on the list ... we like to think of him as a journalist, but he's not exactly a hard-news guy! Not sure what to call him ... other than "columnist." But then, what blogger isn't a columnist? I’d say political journalism would definitely be a big category. Possibly one for entertainment journalism.

Thanks for stopping by QuackTrack. We get a lot of our direction on what sub-categories from our sister-site BlogShares. What other sub-industries would be good additions to Journalism? Particular specialties which bloggers focus on? I'd be glad to add some new categories for the hundreds of journalism blogs out there. Thanks! Hi Mindy! Thanks for stopping by QuackTrack.
