Keeping up with the world of teen pop culture is not an easy task. The best and easiest way to keep on top of youth culture, is to read a diverse selection of blogs. If you are a professional who works with teens, you should be reading daily, at least two blogs from the following categories: technology, YA lit, video games, teen media news, manga and graphic novels (that includes comic books too), music, digital content creation, and DIY crafts. I know this may seem like a ton of reading, but you can save a lot of time by setting up a blog reader, such as a Google Reader account, to browse through your favorite blogs.
