SFGate.com Adds Two Sports Blogs

Posted on September 27, 2005

Yet another mainstream media blog network is up and running. The San Francisco Chronicle at SFGate.com launched the Culture Blog in July. Phil Bronstein, editor of The San Francisco Chronicle, said, "Blogs have become a key part of expression, interaction and dialogue on the Web. We have the talent and the traffic to make SFGate the blogging destination for anyone living in or interested in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ours is a Culture Blog that's entertaining, hilarious, interesting, engaging and unique."

Since the launch of the Culture Blog, SFGate.com has launched two sports weblogs. The Niners Turf Blog covers the San Francisco 49ers and the Silver & Black blog covers the Oakland Raiders. It looks like the Chronicle is on its way to having a mini blog network like the Houston Chronicle, ABC News, St. Petersburg Times, CNET, News & Observer, The Guardian, MSNBC.com and many other news networks and newspapers.
