PAM SPAULDING & ARJAN TIMMERMANS
In just five years, Pam’s House Blend has become a go-to blog for readers seeking a progressive take on politics, LGBT and women’s rights, and race relations. “I love reader feedback, including the batshit crazy right,” Spaulding (below, left) says. “The best way to blunt the hate is to embrace its lunacy, so I display the quotes as badges of honor.”
Dutch-born Timmermans launched his pop music blog, ArjanWrites.com, in 2003. The first-ever credentialed blogger to cover the MTV VMAs and the Grammys, he has remained at the forefront of Internet music journalism by helping break new artists like Lady Gaga, Mika, and Róisín Murphy, and curating his concert series, Superfraîche.
