Week 11

Hello! This week was all about Blogs! Like this one! Only interesting…

For the first reading about news blogs we got these points;

•          People get more involved in blogs than traditional media.
•          Blogs are like do it your self journalism.
•         The more visitors the more successful your blog appears to be.
•          Blogs are not subject to restrictions of traditional media (this means more swears J. Or seriously, stuff like news that is not usually reported on, local angles etc.).
•          It gives a different perspective. Although this can be a bad thing as blogs are a lot more opinionative than news.
•          Anyone can spread news.
•          Doesn’t always focus on facts. Blogs’ curse in my opinion. My motto; never trust a blogger.

We were asked to share our favourite blogs in class,

Laugh out loud, no one had any.

As a class we decided news websites were a better alternative to news blogs as they’re less likely to be biased and do focus on facts.

See you in week 12.
