The internet is being taking over by the blog. The reporter might see there profession become extinct with the amount of blogging that is taking place over the internet. The reporter served as a middleman between the source and the readers but the blog takes the necessity of a middleman out of the picture.
Blogs can come straight from the source, eliminating the middleman. Blogs have all different types of being; there can be professional blogs, fun blogs, serious but fun blogs, blogs for kids, blogs for adults, blogs for newspapers, blogs for sports. The two blogs I am comparing can be considered professional and serious but fun blog. The serious blog is written by Geoff Edgers who is a Boston Art blogger for the Boston Globe. Edgers writes very professionally and although it is in typical blog fashion, there is a sense of organization and professional overtones as the Boston Globe is a highly respected newspaper. The bias is there but not open and you can tell this guy really knows his stuff.
The serious but fun blog is actually written by myself and the content of my blog is strictly surrounding the Boston Bruins. It is very biased, but the knowledge of not only the bruins but the game of hockey is omni present throughout every article. Unlike the Globe, my blog is written in more a stream of thought type of wording and can be sarcastic, witty, and hated by non Bruins fans, but i love the controversy.
It is great to able to sit down at your computer and blog to get your thoughts and ideas out for everyone on the internet. Blogs can be professional or just for fun; you just have to pick your poison.
