People say that blogging is not journalism. Journalists say that blogging is a looming enemy that is trying to corrupt journalism. I really don't think that that is true, I mean isnt journalism writing about events that happen in the world? Isn't that what blogging is too? Here are some other things that people say.
Charles Darwin once said, "it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change,". What this means is that the most important thing to survival is being able to adapt to change. Someone said that blogging isnt the threat to journalism, fear of change is.
Someone said that blogging is not journalism but things like twitter, newspapers, and tvs are, because they are tools and talk about news. I see where they are coming from but blogging can be news worthy too. People talk about the news on their blogs all the time.
Jay Rosen describes bloggers as "speakers and writers of their own ibvention, at large in the public square. they"re participating in the great game of influence called public opinion. and thy're developing, mostly through labors of love, what I've called an extremely democratic medi tool."
Leave a comment below to tell me if you think blogging isnt or is journalism, also if you give me your blogger info i will follow you and read your opinion on this. Again I do think that blogging is journalism on some levels only however. if people are talking about random stuff that is obviously not journalism. Leave a comment.
