One of the reasons I have never been interested in blogging before is lack of trust and time. I mean, I would do something properly, or I wouldn’t do whatsoever. There are really too many blogs in the cyberspace nowadays, and their number seems to double each minute. However, blogging is also a very efficient way of gathering good, reliable and newsworthy information.Do you want some examples? There we go...
Worldchanging.com comprises a global network of independent journalists, designers and thinkers covering possible solutions to today's environment problems. I particularly like the section where they state: “Our things define us. What we buy, what we use, what we keep and throw away, what we waste, and what we save: the stuff that surrounds us and flows through our lives is a key indicator of the kinds of lives we're living.”
Globalvoicesonline.org has news and opinion pieces from all over the world, even from places often ignored by the big media organizations. The searching engine is very useful, allowing us to choose by area, country or subject.
Even the old and reliable Encyclopaedia has gone to the blogosphere. Have a look at Britannica.com/blogs
I am sure there are plenty of other good examples. I will leave to yourself to find the bad ones. Believe me, it is much easier.

I think your blog is developing really well. I like the way you've tried to write a variety of different posts - I particularly like the posts on the reporting of health/science in the press - you've researched them really well and linked excellently.
I think you write well - the conversational style is good for a blog - and you link out to other blogs as well as more mainstream sites. It might be good to add a a few things to the sidebar now - think about the way the blog can present you and your ideas. Include lists of sites you like or maybe feeds of news...
But overall, this is a good read so far.
