What I love about blogs and their influence on news is that we are finally starting to see a more personal side to news. The mere choosing of a story over another one is subjective and reflects the news owner's bias. The same is true of the two sides presented. Those sides, I'm afraid, are chosen for the sake of safety, keeping the advertisers, business and government happy. No one's interested in my lefty, green, feminist mother opinions in mainstream media, but I may find readers in the blogosphere.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864934440190894300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109378176648403566.post-53528803788515754982009-03-27T21:13:00.000-04:002009-03-27T21:13:00.000-04:00I just wanted to signal that the bending of journa...I just wanted to signal that the bending of journalism rules is not new.<BR/><BR/>Gonzo journalists incorporated themselves in the news. They were part of the news, not just exterior reporters.<BR/><BR/>News blogs are kind of an exception. Except tech news blogs. Most blogs (at least, the successfull ones) are mixing fiction and... not exactly news... not even informative content. In fact, most blogs are just empty words about empty lives. Slice of lives. Like in real world, some persons are more interesting than others.<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting if more blogs turned like yours, but I doubt that. Too much work.François-Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109378176648403566.post-25395085875247614772009-03-27T20:36:00.000-04:002009-03-27T20:36:00.000-04:00Hmmm...I thought Gonzo journalists were those who ...Hmmm...I thought Gonzo journalists were those who mixed facts and fiction in their reports.

But in my view, the rules of journalism have already been broken more than thirty years ago, long before blogs, twitter, etc by people like Hunster S. Thompson (and some others labelled as «Gonzo Journalists»).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
