Blogging Discussion

Questions:

1) What did you learn about your particular blog that you researched that you never realized before?

2) Could you tell from the opening page/first click or so/ what type of blog and who the writers were in a political, religious, entertainment sense? Is it obvious what their goal is?

3) When it comes to blogging, do you think it's better to write in the journalistic objective style or does it seem more effective when bloggers use their opinions?

4) Do you think bloggers have or should have the same first amendment protections as a traditional print, radio, or tv journalist?

5) Blogging has gotten really big when it comes to elections, do you put much credibility into what you read on the blogs you critiqued?

6) Do we still need old-media reporting in this new new media age?
