Guardian.CO.UK

The Guardian is a newspaper that seems to have a very big following in the UK area. The site that the blog http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/diary/ comes from, is a branch of this newspaper. The Guardian by the looks of it, spans a large spectrum of subjects. Of these subjects, the US has it's very own section on the site. Also on this site are blogs that users (or employees) create. Just like the one I'm reading now.

So the blog is basically a collection of links from writers picking certain articles (usually their own) to post. The authors, from what I've seen, are professional writers for the newspaper or the Guardian Website. What is cool is that some of the authors are actually in Iraq and have their own personal stories.

Since the blog is a collection of other articles. it doesn't have much more than a basic summary of the article within the posts. So there isn't really room for a tone. The blog is also not up to date. The last of the posts is from April 28th. So it seems like the blog is focusing on main stories or really good articles to post. It acts sort of like a filter. Choosing only what the writers feel should go onto it.
