Well, it's been a fun and thought-provoking ride — hopefully for any reader's out there as well as myself.
This blog actually made me think twice about whether or not an online journal of this nature was really worthwhile. In the end, I think they are.
Not only do blogs have a level of personality that news may never be able to have, but they have a level of discussion as well that most news outlets have yet to achieve. There is something to be said about being able to bare our brain and soul onto a web site and have thier contents be up for discussion for any and all willing to read. With a level of reporting, blogs have become to column of the future without that stuffy newspaper feel. This blogging experience has led me to think that one of the aspects of my new prospective job as Online News Editor for a magazine need be reporter blogs. Examples like th Columbia Tribune really can't be denied their success and after feeling the liberation brought with writing a blog — a blog with relevant content and not just the day's idle thoughts — is an experience that I think can benefit writer's and readers alike.
That's all for now, folks. Please see the above (and last) post for my grade pitch.
