A new blog entitled The Review of Indiana Blogs looks to be an effort that will knit the Indiana blogosphere together even more tightly. I think that’s a good thing. Maybe I just didn’t know where to look, but when I retooled Masson’s Blog about a year ago to focus on Indiana politics, it was tough to locate Hoosier-centric blogs focused on Indiana news, law, and politics. Certainly there were a few — probably a lot more than I came across. But over the year, I think an Indiana blogosphere has been developing.
Ultimately, I think this will enhance the public discourse in Indiana. With a gaggle of citizen journalists (I use the term loosely) to give the state political conversations some more momentum and flesh out the heavy lifting done by the Indy Star, Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, and Evansville Courier Press, I think folks who care about such things will have a better idea of what the issues have been when election time rolls around.
