Why I blog?

In this article the author explains how he got involved in the world of blogging, the freedom he has while writing in this space and his point of view about the importance of blogging in the world of digital media. The author considers blogging part of the golden age of journalism, personally I do not completely agree with this argument, because blogging is not necessarily considered journalism, it is true that provides certain advantages for journalists and writers, such as freedom of timing and topics, a larger and more selective group of readers and independence of editors; in their blogs, writers can write about an issue happening at the moment with plenty of space, as the author relates he lived with 9/11, the dead of pope John Paul II and the beginning of Iraq war, so if all of these advantages are in blogging, why I don’t agree with the idea of the author that is a golden age of journalism? Because blogging gives plenty of space to opinion, not to information, to wait for the source to confirm the information is valid may take a little longer than the instant in which you can publish your entry in your blog and with this moment many of the advantages of blogging are lost and other websites can provide the information. This is only thing that makes me not completely agree with the statement of the author. The blog is also an important place for people who are no in the world of media, because of the freedom it provides.

As almost the entire internet, used correctly is a great way to improve writing skills, share thoughts and memories with the speed of the internet, but there are always people who make serious matters go wrong and intimidate amateur writers to not keep up in the world of blogging.
