Ann Arbor's Active Blogosphere

Posted on September 26, 2005

The Michigan Review has an article about blogs located in or discussing the Ann Arbor, Michigan region which is also where the University of Michigan is located. The article mentions Informed Comment, the popular blog by Juan Cole, Professor of History at the University of Michigan. The blogs also discuss popular regional blogs like Ann Arbor is Overrated and Arbor Update. Michigan Review's article also says the Michigan Daily recently launched four blogs:

The Michigan Daily entered the blogosphere just this week with the launching of four separate blogs accessible through their website. The four blogs focus on sports (The Game), opinion (The Podium), news (The Wire), as well as a blog run by the Daily's editor-in-chief, Jason Pesick. The other sections are maintained by the respective editors of each section of the print version of the Daily. Whether this campus monolith can successfully establish itself in Ann Arbor's bourgeoning blog communities remains yet to be seen, but only time will tell.

The Michigan Review has been running a blog for two years and is planning more. The Review says it "has in store a number of changes for this year, though, and readers should look forward to increased blogs by staff and editors, as well as perhaps a change in format."

As the article mentions there are also many individual Ann Arbor bloggers. Another great resource for Ann Arbor blogs is ArborBlogs which indexes and aggregates Ann Arbor area blogs. ArborBlogs also provides a directory of Ann Arbor blogs.
