Local news just isn’t enough for many of us who regularly access the internet. We are looking for deep personal stories that local news stations generally will not cover. Perhaps you want to be aware of everything that is going on locally, but you want to do it on your own time. You must listen to 40 minutes of negative accounts that you have seen before, in order to hear the news story.

It is fortuante that so many can keep informed through the numerous blogs that are now available online. When you are online, you can also find broadcasters from your favorite TV stations. Since many news blogs are categorized by topic, they are a great resource for those who want to learn more about a certain topic. There has been a recent flood in the United States of blogs dedicated to political opinions. American politics of today are largely influenced by political opinion and blogs.

But blogs aren’t limited to just politics. You can even find bloggers commenting on recent news events. When the US was bombing Iraq bloggers of Iraqi citizens were very popular. This is where blogs really give the reader the real information from someone who is there at the scene. It’s pretty obvious that traditional media like the news on TV is controlled by big business. Content is very filtered before it gets to you. I don’t know about you but I don’t like my news filtered by anyone.

You can take advantage of blog RSS feeds to keep updated on the latest events and posts. Google Reader is also a free handy tool that will allow you to keep updated on all of your favorite blogs all in one spot.

People who have set up an account at google have access to their favorite RSS feeds on their personalized google home page. This same service is offered by Yahoo. This is probably the most convenient way to get your favorites blogs. Viewers that provide a variety of options to show and filter what you have selected to view can be downloaded and installed on your computer.

If you prefer you can receive your feed by email too. Most blogs offer this kind of service and you will get an update daily (or as often as the author updates it) on your inbox. This is too a good way to stay at the top of the news of the themes that most interest you. Personally this is my favorite way to receive updates, since I always check my email several times during the day.

You can contact the blogger to request that he supply some of these options on his blog, if they’re not already there. This type of service is normally generously offered to their readers. However, you just need to activate these options since most blog software have these as defaults.

Nowadays I prefer blogs over watching the news, simply because I like to get the facts without having to wait through a commercial.

Blogger’s may want to watch their P’s and Q’s and choice of words, after a recent ruling where a blogger has received a suspended jail sentence.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man who described local police as “scum” in an Internet posting was given a suspended jail sentence on Monday for extremism, prompting bloggers to warn of a crackdown on free speech online.

Savva Terentiev, a 28-year-old musician from Syktyvkar, 1,515 kilometers (940 miles) north of Moscow, wrote in a blog last year that the police force should be cleaned up by ceremonially burning officers twice a day in a town square.

Convicted on charges of “inciting hatred or enmity”, Terentiev was given a one-year suspended term on Monday, Russian news agencies reported.

Free speech campaigners said the ruling could create a dangerous precedent for free speech on the Internet, a vibrant forum for political debate in a country where the mainstream traditional media is deferential to authority.
