Is Being a Blogging Journalist Advantageous?
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Molly Snyder Edler quotes Linda Menck, "who teaches advertising, public relations and journalism at Marquette University" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, as saying in a February 2, 2008, post headlined "What exactly is a blog?":
"Today, you can forget about being a journalist if you don't know how blogs, other forms of social media and digital technology have changed how we tell stories and deliver news.
Edler quotes OnMilwaukee.com publisher and co-founder Andy Tarnoff as saying:
A blog means different things to different people, but from our perspective, it levels the playing field. Writers, amateur or professional, now have the opportunity to be published.I recommend Edler's post. It's one of the more sober and informative posts I've read on the question: What is a blog?
