blogging vs traditional news

Blogging and traditional news were always seen as two different types of sources where you got your info from. Blogging was seen as more of a way to get your gossip or a different opinion of actual news where as traditional news is what is actually occurring in the world. According to the first article ” Can Bloggers Replace Journalist”, they talk about how bloggers are “seen at people who sit at home all day on their computers just commenting on real news stories” and its mainly based on opinion. A lot of the blogs we see are just a repeat of news stories mixed in with gossip and opinion. Some people believe that bloggers and journalist are the same. But in actuality, they’re really not. Journalist go to the stories and figure out what is really going on to give us the people and society a real story and insight into what is occurring in the world. Bloggers usually feed off of these news post or stories and put their own spin on it. They twist words or put what they believe is really happening in their stories. A lot of famous bloggers are not around anymore according to the article “The Rise of the Professional Bloggers”.  A lot of bloggers went from traditional loggers to writing for actual big companies. They have now become journalists for these companies and have become professional journalist bringing us traditional news. The article “Why we Twitter” talks about how people only go on twitter to blog about what is going on in their lives or to see what is happening in other people’s lives. It a way for us to kind of keep in touch with everyone and keep track of what is happening with society. Blogging is now just away to let people know what we are doing and traditional news gives us the info we need.
