Take A Peek…..

…at Julien’s List, a blog that describes itself this way:”Progressive, balanced, committed, tolerant. Proud to represent the unheard voices of same-sex couples and their supporters…Read, think, ACT!”

Reader response to Take A Peek has been great so we’re stepping up our efforts to offer you a diverse cross section of weblog tips. But don’t get the WRONG idea: Julien’s List is NOT a one-note blog. It’s chock full of links and excerpts from stories, sometimes put on the site at amazing speed — almost as soon as they appear on the wires.

It’s done by three contributors: Miss Julien in Miami, American On Line and by Holly in Cincinnati. We found out about this GREAT site from Holly, who read it — and later became a contributor. For quite some time (before she got involved with Julien’s List) she emailed TMV links to some superb stories. Her news judgement and sense of timing on stories is as good as any editor TMV worked for in his newspaper career. No exaggerating.

So when you visit Julien’s List you get its self-proclaimed viewpoint on certain issues, but you also get a ton of compelling and important news links, op-ed links and excerpts — much better and more complete selection than on many bigger well known blogs (including this one: we tend to write long pieces and often don’t get to some of Holly’s great news tips).

It’s of interest to anyone, no matter what their political views…and particularly to bloggers since they can get some good ideas for posts and links. Plus, when Julien’s List runs an original post on a topic, it’s from the heart.

And there’s a bonus: this RESOURCE LIST by Julien’s List that provides “resources on Religion, Culture, Ethics, Journalism and Politics are in no particular order.” This can save you TONS OF TIME (bookmark it).

Take A Peek at Julien’s List — and the RESOURCE LIST — and we’ll sure you’ll take much more than a daily peek….
