Blogging and News

I have been finding a lot of news stations using bloggers to speak up about situations. It is not just in blogging online, by in-person interviews too. In fact, their names is usually displayed with the title ‘Blogger’ too!

I am not against this, but I found it quite an eye-opener in how news is changing to allow bloggers to be credible sources. Of course, bloggers can contain a wealth of knowledge, but will we see some title say ‘Twitterer’ or ‘Facebook user’ for a person’s title. As fantastical as it sounded, I am laughing about the idea that they may include Blogging101 as a Journalism course.

I love blogging and social media. It is a great way to share the information to a larger audience that I have not gotten to share before when just a blogger. I am just concerned on how far the media will take blogging in conjunction to sharing the news. Will our news one day read in l33t speak, and our newspapers be extinct? I hope not. Not everyone has a computer or even access to the Internet. In fact, for some it is a pretty scary concept.

Hopefully if news becomes greener, we might have the quality news online that we had before, even it is comes from a blogger.

This is also for connecting via social network handles.

    I agree. What is really fun is how everything is a blog now if it is posted online. I guess this is still new territory and the term is still being defined, but there has to be a line somewhere.

    I believe that blogs should be defined as material from someone who primarily posts online, or at least content that is significantly differing from what the person does elsewhere.

    Just my opinion, but shouldn’t there be some type of line in the sand?
