Blog
Creation
Blogs enable interaction
and invite others to reward a person’s creative effort with
feedback. They weave new social networks, introducing people
with common passions. Another reason why one should start
blogging is dissemination of "micro-opinions" important
to a small audience – opinions that would never make it in
newspapers.
A widely dispersed
audience depends on weblogs for filtered and disseminated
information as it plays an important role positioned outside
the mainstream of mass media.
Professional bloggers
are experts in evaluating the nature of information sources;
it is not reasonable to assume that all readers can do the
same. Readers depend on the bloggers to provide them with
their knowledge share. Weblogs point to, comment on, and
spread information according to their own idiosyncratic perspective.
Readers accept all information provided to them via blogs
– all information – including articles from a source that
is a little wacky or has a strong agenda etc, but not an
unethical nature of source.
If it is felt
that a well-written article can stand on its own only with
ethically clear and relevant sources. Readers may cease to
trust a blog where disguised or unclear source of an article
is discovered. Making the sources clear or providing the
readers all the facts is important because it enables the
reader to avoid evaluating the facts differently. So, weblog’s
ethical standards are designed in way that delineates the
responsibilities of weblog professionals and provide a clear
code of conduct to ensure the integrity of the news.
You can start
your own blog. This unit will discuss how to create your
own blog.
Starting Your Own Blog
As we have discussed
earlier, blogs are posts that are short, informal and sometimes
deeply personal no matter what the topic of discussion is.
They can be characterized by their conversational tone. If
you think the concept is new and you have not done anything
like blogging before, think again.
Whether a professional
journalist or a teenage high school student, they all have
been doing the same thing: using blog to link to their friends
and rivals and comment on what they are doing. So, everybody
blogs.
If a person has
a web presence but is disappointed with static homepage -
if an elegant treatment of posts on a global platform is
what they require, then ‘blogging’ is what they require to
do. One may also consider to blog if feedback is required
from people you have never heard of.
Weblogs, definitely,
are the mavericks of the online world. Two of its greatest
strengths are their ability to filter and disseminate information
to a widely dispersed audience, and their position outside
the mainstream of mass media.
