The three blogs at houstonpress.com are as feisty as their paper parent, but deliver the news at a higher rate of speed. Hair Balls, the news blog -- named Winner of the Best Blog category in the 2009 Association of Alternative Newsweeklies competition -- covers politics, sports, movies and the day’s local foibles. Eating…Our Words stages food fights, reviews restaurants and dishes out the latest local restaurant business news. And Rocks Off, our music blog, reviews musicians, covers great moments in local musical history and owns the night life clubbing scene in prose and slide shows.

From the front of the book with its irreverent Hair Balls column to a mid-section filled with award-winning in-depth investigative and features stories to the back of each issue featuring incisive entertainment coverage, the Houston Press offers an intriguing and thought-provoking package to its readers every week. This approach has garnered results in national competitions: first place in Features in the 2009 National Association of Black Journalists awards, a finalist in the 2009 Investigative Reporters and Editors awards, and a 2008 finalist award in the Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism.
