TV Watchers is an entertainment news blog for themorningcall.com. The authors for each blog post are reporters for TMC and online producers. Their writing style is first person and very opinionated, although I can agree with a few remarks the authors make. A specific example is the blog post about the new season of American Idol. The show is different because of the new judges and more contestants are passing through Hollywood. The judges even though the judges are truthful, they are sympathetic enough to let mediocre singers go to the next level of auditions. Essentially, the main purpose of this blog is informing people about what is happening on TV. I like that the blog is updated regularly and the website offers: a TV guide schedule, links to TV network websites, and additional links or articles for readers to look up. In its entirety, I believe the blog is decent since it is targeting a local audience, Allentown, Lehigh Valley, rather than a national audience.

Newsarama Blog Review
http://www.newsarama.com/
Newsarama.com is a pop culture website dedicated to comics, television, movies, and games. The blogs posted on the website are written by the website’s editorial staff. Overall, the authors’ voice for each blog post is written as news article. Most of the bloggers are objective about what they are writing. In addition, each author is writing for a specific audience, for example I noticed was Albert Ching writing comic book related blog posts. Alternatively, the interactive features for Newsarama.com are videos posted under the “Video” category on the website. The purpose of the Newsarama.com blog is to report entertainment, but what makes Newsarama different from other blogs is they receive their information from inside sources. The website has friends and connections with major companies like CW, Warner Brothers, Marvel, and Dark Horse. One thing I like about the blog is people actually provide insightful comments. The authors do not give any opinions, but leaves it up to readers to make their own views. A few reader feedback responses are interesting and insightful.
