Recession in America is a new blog on BusinessWeek, focusing on, yes you guessed it, the recenssion in America. Blogger Tim Catts will travel across the country to meet the people. this is how he describes the blog in the launch post:

This blog is one of the places we’ll tell these stories. Here, we’ll jump into the conversation about where the economy is and where it’s going. Yes, sometimes we’ll look at the latest data. Sometimes we’ll share observations from the road. The goal is to give readers real stories about how the downturn is affecting individuals, businesses, and communities.

A good call, I’d say. Blogs are great for covering temporary (?) issues.
