Last night, a rather late work-night, I added only one more new site to the Blogs around the World post:
The Daily Czech. Czech it out (sorry).
The proprietor of Peaktalk posts on a discussion in the comments regarding the inclusion of Peaktalk on the list. The decision as to whether to include certain sites has often been this difficult.
When I began this project, I set-out a few straightforward rules. To be included, a blog should: (a) be reasonable, (b) be in English, (c) be in the country at issue, and (d) provide some discussion of news in said country.
I later noted my decision to exclude blogs that cited the widely-debunked Marc Herold death statistics as violating (a). I've found that this rule eliminated some otherwise excellent sites, so I may relax it in the future.
I also know of a couple instances where I've included blogs that violate (c), and I've pushed the boundaries of (d) several times. Life is messy.
Anyway, I'm still eagerly seeking suggested additions.
Happy reading.
