NEWSWEEK: Black blogs cover a far more diverse range of stories than the rest of the media. Just ask Sandra Bullock. While Sandra Bullock's post-Oscar split from husband Jesse James may be the biggest celebrity news in the last month (or two), it's probably not surprising it's the adopted brown baby that really got the African-American blog sites going. The funny thing is, black Web sites such as MediaTakeOut.com, Bossip, and Young, Black and Fabulous have been following Bullock for years. Part of the reason is her connection to the black community. "They know about her support for victims of Katrina and Haiti so they care about what happens to her, which we thought about when we gave her coverage," says Fred Mwangaguhunga, owner of the black entertainment site MediaTakeOut.com. But part of it is that black blogs look at the world differently than the often segregated mainstream.
