Perspectives

A writer needs three things, experience, observations, and imagination, any two of which at times anyone of which, can supply the lack of the others.

Almost every other person I know of has some sort of a digital space out there. I am referring to the evolution of blogging. It’s so hot that it has even find its way through the online news sites.

Take a look at any of your favorite online news sites, say BBC,
or Guardian they have an entire section dedicated to blogs.

Now all this is interesting because hard news has always been under the scrutiny of media gatekeepers. Blogging challenges the idea of “gate keeping” by introducing subjective opinions on objective news. That’s what I call a real media evolution.

There are “good” and “bad” sides to any conceived idea and blogging is no exception. Too many opinions and perspectives on one subject make us question on the credibility of the source and confuses the reader. But on the positive note, it brings the truth to the average middle class man who has been so far depending only on mainstream media to tell him what is going on in his world. We are not talking about just the accuracy of the news but even “what” is reported as news and what is not. Now the reader chooses his own news and reads whosever perspective and views he likes and dislikes. All he has to do is make a search and bingo, “the truth is out there.”

This is my blog on "Journalism on the blog". Let us study together the different aspect of news blogs and how they are making an impact on the way news is being delivered and received today.
