Just as you can use a number of search engines to find items of interest on the World Wide Web, you have a choice of engines to help you find blogs of interest to read.
And just as Google is probably the first engine you go to, and the one you go to if you time only to go to one, Technorati is the best one-stop blog search engine. It is at http://technorati.com/
Some other engines you should try are:
Blogsearch at www.blogsearchengine.com/
Blogarama at www.blogarama.com/
Feedster at Feedster.com/
There are more if these don't serve.
On any of these plug in a name of a blogger or a subject you are interested in and see what you come up with. Then when you find a blog you like, bookmark it. I have a few I read everyday, some I read weekly, others once in a while. And I look for new ones all the time.
In researching stories you can find ideas and sources in blogs. As with anything from the Internet, ideas and sources must be verified and checked thoroughly. You may have heard that there is false information online.
Some possible blogs of interest:
