For Your Perusal




Here are some other blogs/websites that I think offer good sociological commentary, many of them on the media. You might use these for ideas, or to see how others blog, or perhaps just to add to your roster of regular Internet surfing!

These are at contexts.org, which is the magazine of the American Sociological Association (ASA):
  • Sociological Images: looks at all sorts of images, many of them mass media related.
  • Contexts Crawler: "scans the internet for media reports and other insights offered by sociologists and serves them up in a concise, snappy style."
Also:
Everyday Sociology: commentary from a variety of sociologists about all sorts of issues, many media related
Jezebel: a personal favorite of mine, entertainment commentary with a feminist twist (non-academic)
Pop Matters: a cultural criticism magazine that balances entertainment reviews and interviews with intelligent commentary. They also have a number of blogs that covers different areas of media from music to TV to comic books.

Do you have others? Let us know by commenting here.
