300 word introduction
To be honest I really didn't know how to blog or what blogging is. This just shows me how technology is vastly increasing since the internet has become such an important source of information in this current time we are living in. Firstly what is media, it can be described as getting certain information whether it is scandals, tragedies, etc. it is also presented in various forms such as the newspapers, radio, television, the internet as well which includes blogging. My reason why I would say that blogging is an important new form of media is that it is very interactive in some sense. Others could comment on your thoughts and opinions where the other media options lack this function. Another function that is quite evident is that the one creating his or her blog are allowed to be creative. Not limited creativity but one can create one’s own layout also different colors can be used to make your page a lot more interesting and eye-catching for your followers. Not that the other forms of media are not creative, but to me especially the newspaper they are only creative until a certain point. What I mean is that each newspaper has their own trademark, the own colors are used to recognize the type of newspaper. With the blogging experience creativity reaches another level. With blogging I also noticed that a lot of the writer’s opinions, points come through strongly. Because each individual has their own opinions blogging then suddenly becomes interesting. Interesting because it is here where it is not necessary to conform to what we read in the newspapers or see on television and even what we hear on the radio. For once it seems as if we as normal individuals not news readers or journalists we take the media in our own hands.
