You may have noticed some changes in the feeds at right.  I am in the process of separating out the SD Mainstream Media blogs from the SD Citizen Journalist and Blogger blogs.  The feed for the Lake Herman Accordites--our small band of merry local bloggers--remains the same.

As the MSM continues to struggle, I think it is important to point out the distinction.  There are some MSM blogs that I think are "community" and personal in nature and it pains me to put them in the SD MSM listing.  Those would include Take It Outside, Mt. Blogmore, and Politically Speaking.  But I had to draw a line.

On the other hand, I kept South Dakota Magazine in the SD Citizen Journalist and Blogger group as it is largely the voice of its non-out of state owner, Rep.-elect Bernie Hunhoff.

I even added Sibby Online back into the SD Citizen blog feed.  Now Steve, don't make me regret that decision! ;)  (So much for that reprieve from the Sibmeister.)

But I digress.

I also wanted to give greater prominence to non-MSM owned blogs. 

I have a ton of feeds to go through so bear with me as I make the changeover.

I realize that it's ultimately all just one big internet.  But I think a little distinction between what we non-corporate journalists and bloggers do should be set apart from those who are.  It's not a criticism, just a recognition.
