Blogging

Blogging is present in the world today, and is a major part of the news. Blogging presents many ideas, and does contribute to making the public more informed.This article points out that the writings in newspapers are a more informative way of telling about a particular subject. The author feels as if anyone could write a blog and not be well informed about the situation. Bloggers have no particular obligation to the situation, and it is not their job to write about something. The author feels as if bloggers just want attention, and do not relay the facts to the reader. The blogs are too opinionized, and bloggers do not go through all the troubles newspaper writers do. The author tells about particular struggles that newspaper writers went through to obtain facts of a story, and how much more persistent they are than bloggers. This author favors newspaper journalists, for the fact that they reveal the truth and back that up through facts.
The two authors both feel as if blogging is changing the world today. Everywhere you go you can see a blog, and blogs relay much information. Blogs are going to become even more popular, as portrayed in both pieces. However the two blogs differ. The author of the piece we read in class feels as if blogging gives a more personal view of a situation. Blogs do not give half facts, and the opinions are often informative. The other piece however describes journalism as more informative, and how it involves less made up truths.The author feels as if journalists fight for the truth, and bloggers just want attention. The two pieces are similiar because they show that blogging is very popular, yet each has their own opinion about blogging.
I agree with the writing we read in class because it is a more personalized way of telling about something. The writer is not telling about half of the facts, and is not trying to impress his boss. The piece of work is not changed by editors and publishers, and I like the fact that the author gives his or her own view on the subject. Just giving facts could be a boring way to convey a message. Anyone could use a blog, and it is beneficial to society. This is how I feel about blogging in the world today.
