Blogs from writers I admire

As I've already mentioned I've never been on a blog until 2 weeks ago. I think perhaps I was trying to protect myself from information overload. When I'm working I often don't thoroughly read the daily news, weekly and monthly magazines I already subscribe to. BUT, here are some blogs I might try to follow because I like the author's articles or the collection.

 Nicholas Kristof travels the world mostly writing about the underclass in developing countries with a particular focus on women's situations. The power of his topics, the struggles of people he meets and his dedication to reporting about them is impressive.

Paul Krugman writes on economic issues as a voice for the "liberal?" idea that everyman/woman should have the chance to prosper thanks to a government unafraid to create economic policy which benefits the lower/middle class.

 Mark Bittman has been writing great food columns as "The Minimalist" for years. He now is on the Op Ed page.

"The Stone features the writing of contemporary philosophers on issues both timely and timeless"(NYTimes).
