Sullivan is the fifth public editor appointed by The New York Times. I chose this blogger because I admire her hard work and the way she has accomplished many important positions. I like what she writes about since it is interesting and important. She writes about culture and media. She writes about topics such as healthcare, breast cancer, and the white house. She has a good sense of humor considering she names Edward Snowden Person of the Year. When reading her you are able to laugh but her stories are thought provoking.

Dana Milbank writes about political theater in the nation’s capital. He joined The Post as a political reporter in 2000, after two years as a senior editor of The New Republic and eight years with the Wall Street Journal. One of his weirder aspects during presidential election years is to support the best candidate not on the ballot, allowing him to comment on policy without committing to a candidate.

Randy Harvey is a sports columnist for the Houston Chronicle, but he also frequently blogs about the Texans. He started off writing beats for the Lakers, but his specialty is in football. He has covered 12 super bowls. He spent three years as an editor and 30 years total on the Los Angeles Times before deciding to go back to writing about sports for the Houston Chronicle.
Harvey's writing style is a combination of informative, tongue-and-and cheek, and opinionated with a lot of very evident football knowledge. He slips in clever lines covering his opinion, but also has a very intelligent and analytical eye for the game. His opinions are mostly one sided, not falling in the middle of a debate very often. His years of sports and writing experience has made him a very well rounded journalist for the Houston Texans.
Mick LaSalle is a film critic and entertainment blogger for the Houston Column. He shares his opinions on movies, but also blogs about the latest film news. This is not similar to "tabloid" journalism. He covers important, researched news, and infuses it with his years of experience as a critic. His style is more succinct than I expected, but still informed and entertaining.

Steve Kenny is a writer for the New York Times' political blog The Caucus. He writes with a serious, objective tone. I have seen a similar writing style to Kenny's in other political news sites and blogs, and I find Kenny to be a good political writer. In a very short article concerning the confirmation of the new Homeland Security secretary, Kenny provides ample background information to aid the reader. He remains neutral in his examinations of the new secretary, the present, and the new change in filibuster rules.
Eric Berger is the Houston Chronicle's SciGuy, blogging about current events in the scientific community (especially aeronautics/space). NASA (unlike something like a cabinet department) and science in general are not hotly politicized, so Berger can pursue a less serious tone in his writing than Kenny. In a new Kent State University study suggesting heavy cell phone users have worse grades and less happiness than lighter cell phone users, Berger even uses the first and second person. Except in an op-ed piece, use of the first or second person in political coverage is rare. I enjoy SciGuy for its humor and the clear love of science Berger shows through his writing.

She has a track record of covering mainly human rights and also works for the Huffington Post. In her latest blog for the NYT, she explores whether India is truly safe for women.
- Vaibhav Vats is also a NYT blogger in their category India Ink. Rather than cover human rights specifically, he covers politics and how rampant corruption hasn't been eliminated from all forms of the Indian government.
