Blogging has picked up a considerate following, but will it continue to gain momentum? AOL online bought the Huffington Post, and that says something for the world of blogging. It's becoming the news medium for news. For some, it's a great way to break the conventionalism of journalism, bringing in younger and more contemporary audiences.
But not all journalists can reconcile the idea of putting themselves in stories and news. It's difficult to insert your own spin and opinion on a topic. This would require some sort of expertise, wouldn't it?
I don't think I'm an expert in anything, and nor are other bloggers necessarily all-knowing about the topics they blog. This leniency might be the reason why blogging is growing, but as previously stated in other blogs, ethics should be strongly considered, resources should be experts and well-trusted.
This blog thing could be my career. Or it could be a flub. Who knows?
where have you been? miss your posts
ReplyDeleteYou need to be blogging more
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elizabeth, blogging could help you advance in your career because possible employers see your style of writing, and in blogs it's usually mostly opinion.

ReplyDeleteSome love the idea. And I shun them every day.
I think blogging is a good outlet for journalists to express their opinions while still being professional at work.
ReplyDeleteBlogging can provide a small but free taste of what life will be like for an aspiring journalist.
ReplyDeleteI think I could very well do this. I just need to stop working every day...you know? lol
