  • Weblogs are online journals consisting of brief entries displayed in chronological order on a page (see "Online Uprising," June). They are usually (but not always) written in a conversational voice and usually (but not always) peppered with links and references to other sites.
  • The best news bloggers are articulate, independent thinkers. In some ways, they are the antithesis of traditional journalists: unedited, unabashedly opinionated, sporadic and personal.
  • MSNBC.com is one of a few big news sites to jump on the blogging bandwagon

  • Unlike free-range species, MSNBC's blogs are edited--"but with a light hand," says Managing Producer Reed Price. "We want to take advantage of the transparency offered by blogs, allowing readers to draw a clearer bead on the writer's personality."
  • News blogs can also focus on specific stories or events.
  • Any news site could set up topical Weblogs to monitor major stories, summarizing and linking to international and alternative coverage that readers wouldn't encounter on their own.
  • "One of the great things about having a Weblog is having a forum for expanding on points that must be dealt with briefly in conventional article writing. The article on Iraq which I just wrote for The Washington Monthly is a case in point."
  • Even journalists who have no interest in running a blog can glean story tips and ideas from them.
  • Get the picture? Blogs can be a rich resource, an easy publishing tool and a repository for notebook overflow. I seriously doubt they'll usurp online newspapers in five years--but newsrooms could borrow a few tricks from today's bloggers to make their own journalism better.

  • "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site."
  •  a writer who aims at a mass audience
  • For example, both bloggers and journalists are writing for a particular audience and both aim at telling a story in order to get information out quickly.

    This gives good information about how blogging and journalism are very similar in their definition.

  • “Journalism” may not be guaranteed work all of the time, but it is most certainly in my eyes one of the main focuses of future careers for students.
  • I think that citizen journalism is a much broader topic of ‘non-professionals’ engaging in information collection, distribution and dissemination.

  • music, and therefore could only really state their opinion within the narrow contexts
  • A journalist (ideally) has a professional responsibility to verify information,
  • Microblogging is a bit of a different case, I think, and builds much more on this idea of intimacy with the audience and among the audience
