Personally, I would love to see a blog/weekly news letter, whatever you want to call it, that covers what's new in a specific genre and maybe a few reviews of different authors/books. Of course, it's pretty difficult to put something together like that and I'm not sure how you would monetize it. Some have paypal contribution buttons, will run yearly fund raisers, have subscriptions and seem to make a living at it.

http://fantasyliterature.com/ does a great job of that in the sci/fi and fantasy world. They occasionally cover cozy fantasy too, but not nearly as often as the other types (urban fantasy, epic fantasy and sci/fi). They have more than one reviewer so more than one POV and fun (and funny contests). They're just for fun contests, nothing serious (like renaming a bad book cover with what the cover makes you think of...) The blog is also an Amazon affiliate and stays open by being an affiliate and by donations. Great blog.
There are other blogs for other genres. I know of one for cozy mysteries...there's more than one for romance (Dear Author is one. I don't follow that blog because I don't read many romances, but I've read the reviews now and then). There's one for Urban fantasy too, but I can't think of the name of it and that particular one veers off into paranormal romance more often than I personally care for, but it's still updated daily and has good book conversation.
