A roundup, of sorts

After a slow week, a couple interesting new research blogs:

  • Paper Trail Blog from Center for Public Integrity, links to useful and interesting public records background to stories in the news.
  • Lisa Gold: Research Maven: she lists great tips for finding research resources, writing, and more.

    A couple research resources:

  • Sports Illustrated's Vault gives access to 50 years of fulltext stories, covers, and images.
  • State Digital Resources: Memory Projects, Online Encyclopedias, Historical & Cultural Materials Collections. The Library of Congress compiles a list of state resources. This is great. I know of a few states' encyclopedias but knew there had to be more. They're all listed here.

    And this:

  • 5 ways newspapers botched the web, from Valleywag. Interesting recap of several of Knight-Ridder's online initiatives like Viewtron, Real Cities and New Century Network, along with The New York Times' Abuzz and newspaper consortium's Classified Ventures. On Knight Ridder's involvement, this:
    Knight Ridder ignored the pessimists and committed to investing $25 million in its new online business. "I live in terror that some big thing's going to happen that I don't see coming," Knight Ridder New Media President Bob Ingle told BusinessWeek. What Ingle didn't envision: nothing happening.


    (Updated:) Oh, and I should have added this, posted to the Newslib group this week by Kitty Bennett: Convention History (1856-2008), a great compilation of links from Poynter's David Shedden.

    Drug mystery, research roundup, and blogging status

    I'm always a sucker for a good conspiracy mystery, especially when it involves drug planes, the CIA, and south Florida. So here's a good one, with a roundup from Boing Boing ( Update on CIA drug plane owned by “Donna Blue Aircraft, Inc” ), linking to the site that seems to be breaking this story, Mad Cow Morning News , by Daniel Hopsicker. A lot of fun research went into this report. Enjoy. Only a couple research links this week: Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence Gov. Sarah Palin: Background from Anchorage Daily News. And in other news, I'm starting treatments for a health condition that has been building for the last couple months. I don't know how much I'll be able to blog over the next few weeks, and things have already slowed down here quite a bit as I have been spending much of my time visiting doctors and hospitals for tests and preliminary treatments. Hope things will get back to normal around here but for now expect light blogging. I have continued to po

    That woman

    Amazing the amount of interest Sarah Palin's raising around the country. I heard talk of her everywhere this week, places I wouldn't have expected. Daily Source has compiled a comprehensive list of resources on Palin's background, at Special section: an in-depth look at the record and policies of McCain’s VP choice Sarah Palin . There's similar coverage at Mahalo: Sarah Palin . The Anchorage newspaper, of course, compiled all their news coverage of Palin on their website, at Gov. Sarah Palin: Background from Anchorage Daily News. A blog: Women against Sarah Palin . With links to more, like Impalin . (Thanks Deb.)
