Looking at newspaper blogs
A couple of weeks ago, the Press Gazette in Britain and Andrew Grant-Adamson took a swipe at some newspaper blogs, as I mentioned here, which led to some reaction from newspaper bloggers (not surprisingly) — including a stirring defence from Telegraph online editor Shane Richmond, who got a few of the Telegraph bloggers to write about their experiences.
Now Andrew Grant-Adamson has gone back at the subject and looked at some of the top-ranked blogs at both the Times and the Telegraph, using Technorati rankings (the closest thing we have to an authority on blog popularity). In his look at the Times’ 37 blogs, he notes that the religion blog of Ruth Gledhill is one of the best, and the most popular according to Technorati.
He also did a ranking of Telegraph blogs here, in which editor Shane Richmond’s blog is by far the winner. Some are linked to by only one or two other blogs, and some are not linked to at all. In the Times’ rankings, the bottom position was occupied by prominent British society figure and former Times’ editor-in-chief Lord William Rees-Mogg, whose blog wasn’t linked to by anyone.
