Searching for newspapers that have featured travelogues.

September 23, 2006 9:31 AM

I'm looking for online examples of major newspapers (from cities with a population of, say, 100,000+) that have published a special blog or column featuring dispatches from someone traveling around the world or to a different country--like the NY Times did with Frugal Traveler on the Road.

.... with an emphasis on mid-sized cities: under one million, but over 100,000.

Thanks!

Well, the Guardian has this, but it's not really a mid-sized city paper.

The NYT currently has a blog written by Casey Parks, the winner of Nick Kristof's Win-a-Trip contest. They've been visiting Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon so far.

Rolf Potts has probably written stuff like this, I know he did a series for Slate a while back.

Well, sfgate.com (San Francisco Chronicle) has Olivia Wu's Shanghai Diary... that sounds like the kind of thing you're looking for.
