USA Today has launched several new blogs including On Deadline, a breaking news blog; Hotel Hotsheet, a hotel and travel blog; The Weather Guys, a weather blog; and O-Factor, a blog with daily Oscar buzz. The O-Factor is part of trend of MSM Oscar blogs that are being launched. A recent Variety article mentioned several others including Carpetbagger (NY Times) and The Envelope (L.A. Times). The Oscar blogs from the MSM will probably even surpass the number of mainstream media blogs that debuted for CES -- you can see a list of the CES blogs here.
