Bartholomew’s notes on religion — This is a link to the fascinating post on the situation on the Ivory Coast. This blog perhaps epitomizes some of the finest blogging efforts you’ll ever see. With only a few unimportant expceptions (such as lone uncaptioned photos posted as an apparent lark), this blog, to me, represents the kinbd of new journalism that blogging is supposed to be — an in-depth, thoughtful, media critic approach to things. In fact this sort of quality is quite rare. Kudos.
