Mark Obbie, at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, has launched LawBeat, a new blog on media coverage of law for the school's Carnegie Legal Reporting Program. Sandy Szwarc, who comments often on the politics of compulsory nutrition, has a new blog entitled Junkfood Science. And Robert Bork Jr., son of the judge and head of his own litigation communications consultancy in Washington, D.C., has begun LegalPRBlawg to cover public relations issues related to law and litigation.

On the corporate governance beat, Financial Executives International has a blog on the effects of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404. Bruce Carton's Securities Litigation Blog, often linked in this space, has been folded into the ISS Corporate Governance Blog. And as noted on Overlawyered the other day, "Not only is Prof. Bainbridge back blogging, now split into three avatars, but Beldar is back, too."
