Blogs and Journalism
The world has seen the emergence of a new style of journalism,
based on a 'raw feed' directly from the source. And the common
notion that surrounds the emergence of serving 'raw feed' is that
the journalists testing the new waters are bound to wreak havoc
on institutionalized media.
Also a popular notion is that Weblogs changes the nature of
'news' is in the migration of information from the personal to
the public. Unquestionable, a blog is a medium that gives maximum
exposure to one's creativity. Just by hitting the 'post' button
and any personal writing becomes published writing.
Weblogging is driving a powerful new form of amateur
journalism. Today, millions of Net users - young people
especially - have taken up the role of columnist, reporter,
analyst and publisher while fashioning their own personal
broadcasting networks.
For the inexperienced, a blog consists of a running commentary
with pointers to other sites. Some, like Librarian.net, Jim
Romenesko's Media News or Steve Outing's E-Media Tidbits, cover
entire industries by providing quick bursts of news with links to
full stories.
Journalism and blogging together is becoming popular day by
day, more than any other form of blogging. Following reasons are
considered to extensively contribute to its increasing
popularity:
Creative Freedom
Part of a blog's allure is its unmediated quality. For a
journalist, there's no luxury like the luxury of publishing
unedited essay. The freedom in being able to present yourself
precisely as you want to is of enormous joy. It does not matter
how sloppily, irrationally or erratically the content is written.
The idea is to publish what you think in the way you think.
Instantaneity
To a few writers, even writing for a weekly magazine may seem
like taking ages to print. With a Weblog, you hit the send key
and it is out.
Interactivity
It is a kick to receive feedback from people who have taken
interest to read and criticize your work. These are the people
you have never heard of; who stumble on your Weblog and become a
part of your thinking process.
Lack Of Marketing Constraints
When blogging it is not necessarily to tailor a work piece for
a certain readership or demographic. People interested in a
perspective finds its author - the blogger, instead of the
blogger finding a publication that reflects people's
interests.
Most of the time, the Weblogs tend to be less about actual
reporting and more about analysis and punditry and opinionated
commentary. The 9/11 terrorist attacks fuelled the public's
appetite for information, analysis and news, if only to make
sense of the tragedy. Bloggers rose to prominence by feeding this
desire.
Blogging has taken off in remarkable fashion; in a way, it has
made good where newsgroups have failed. It has kept the promise
that the Internet would provide real community to Web surfers.
Tuning in to some of the newsgroups devoted to the terror
attacks; one may sometimes feel to be in the middle of a verbal
war zone with so much noise passing for informed discussion.
Weblogs run from single person operation to large teams and
communities, to business organizations spread throughout the
world. They offer a great way for readers to find constantly
updated news and information. It also allows authors to connect
to thousands of readers in a personal way and add the honest,
unedited voice of thousands to increasingly commercializing
Web.
The plethora of tools that helps managing the weblog
capitalizes on the ease of publishing posts to even greater
extent.
These are probably the reasons why they have been widely
adopted and maintained - for several years in some cases.
