June’s been a busy month for the folks over at The New Republic — within the past few weeks, they have launched four new blogs and has experienced much online growth. The four blogs, listed below, form just one aspect of TNR‘s ongoing online expansion:

• Citizen Cohn: Jonathan Cohn‘s blog health care blog, domestic policy and the political process.

• Entanglements: a foreign policy blog featuring reporting and analysis by the likes of Andrew Bacevich, David Rieff, David A. Bell, and editor Lawrence F. Kaplan.

• The In-House Critics: Michael Kazin and Jim Manzi, critics on the Left and the Right, respectively, work to keep TNR “intellectually honest.”

• Goal Post: a blog dedicated to smart soccer and geopolitical analysis of the World Cup

Additionally, TNR has experienced an increase in digital advertising revenue of 125 percent in the first half of this year over the first half of 2009. It has managed to increase traffic to its site by 45 percent, and has seen a 2x increase in online subscriptions.

Not a terribly shabby start to the summer.
