- We want blogs that bring sociological theory and research to bear on life in today's world.
- We want blogs to do this in an accessible manner that appeals to generalists within our discipline and to educated publics such as students, policymakers, and the media.
- We want blog authors who are committed to their blogs for the long haul.
