I’ve been thinking about who are the best bloggers? The requirement isn’t who runs the best blog on the Web, but rather which beat reporters are innovating the most on the Web with online tools like social networking and blogging.

Am I missing people? I realize that this list is mostly of beat reporters from larger publications. Do you have some recommendations from smaller publications?

• Kent Fischer - Covers the Dallas Independent School District.
• Eric Berger - Science blogger and reporter for The Houston Chronicle.
• Monica Guzman - Manages The Big Blog for The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
• Ed Silverman - Runs Pharmalot and writes for The Newark Star-Ledger.
• Jon Ortiz - Runs The State Worker blog for The Sacramento Bee.
• Khristopher J. Brooks - Education reporter for the Omaha World-Herald.
• Matt Neznanski - Runs multiple beat blogs for The Gazette Times.
• Brian Stelter - Runs TV decoder for The New York Times.
• Mary Louise Schumacher - Art reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
