One thing I have been taught in my years as a Communication major, however, is to be extra careful when reading a blog. There is a chance that all of the facts are true and all of the names and towns spelled correctly, but there is definitely more room for error in the blogging world than mainstream media. Blogging is not as censored and edited as other mainstream media. When reading a blog, it is crucial to make certain that the evidence and facts are actually legitimate ones. <BR/><BR/>It is also interesting to discuss the future of the media and the online world. The online world is taking off, and now journalists are expected to be able to write an article as well as make an online version of it, which usually includes voice overs and video footage. I think blogging is going to take off in the near future, if it hasn't already. And journalists are going to be trained in new and technologically savvy ways as we become an even more advanced society.<BR/><BR/>memMegan Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507429268417250884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077197998710271518.post-82276348913726330502008-09-28T09:32:00.000-07:002008-09-28T09:32:00.000-07:00Blogs can be as credible as newspapers.

Indie magazines are printed, but you'll see more sources quoting Huffington Post than a zine. It's about the writers (and IT security, of course).<BR/><BR/>Thought you'd find this article interesting: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/mar/15/comment.mediaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9077197998710271518.post-65023517190322062332008-09-27T15:00:00.000-07:002008-09-27T15:00:00.000-07:00The future of blogs and their influence is definit...The future of blogs and their influence is definitely fascinating. In ten years, will kids be able to tell the difference between a technologically advanced blog and a legitimate online news source? Which will we trust more?Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653884217873236742noreply@blogger.com
