Detroit News Labs

Readers like our new blogs

detnews.com has added several new blogs the last few weeks, while some “old standbys” show continued popularity and relevance.
The Detroit News now has more than 70 staff- and contributor-written blogs, ranging in subject from our popular Armchair Idol blog to several politics/elections-related blogs to crafts and sports ( Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, Lions, etc.)
When we add a new blog, we’re either plugging an area of coverage or providing another layer of coverage of a topic. For example:

• our new Tax Watchdog blog by Robert Snell, a Detroit News reporter who covers economic development, reports on those who don’t pay income, business and property taxes.
• Living in the D is written by native Detroiters, Motor City transplants and others from Metro Detroit who work and/or play in the city about what’s going on as they go about their daily lives in Detroit.
• Disabilities is written by community members with disabilities and others interested in raising awareness of and fostering sensitivity for those with special needs.
• The Breast Monologues is written by one of our page designers who was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 26 years old.

And many of our blogs - especially sports and entertainment subjects - really resonate with our readers, who fill up our related forums with comments and conversation.
Tell us what you think of our blogs and forums and if there are any subjects you’d like us to cover.
