1.CONTEXT: Journal of Social & Cultural Studies,a very interesting initiative,being both an open access( free and open to all without need of affiliation to any bodies, unlike what seems to be the case with most journals) peer reviewed (articles assessed by informed critics for their suitability for publication in the journal) journal and a blog. "...published twice a year (June and December) by CONTEXT Research Network (CRNet), a team of international scholars that collaborate to promote rigorous research on aspects of culture and society. Our desire is to maintain a truly international spread in our publication of articles in the journal, and also to establish a conversational relationship between cultural works and social analysis, seeing cultural works as analyses too".

4.The stable of journals (not blogs) at Africa Resource,which have been open access and will remain so for back issues,but for some titles at least,are going into subscription to help with costs(sadly the last appearance of a journal here was in 2007 although there seem to be plans to bring out new issues):

It is useful to compare the blog format which enables feedback on the article page and newspapers which are not blogs and which also enable feedback on the page of the article,such as the English Times:
