Based on my opinion bloggers are not journalist because most of the bloggers didn't specify their source for the stuffs they post . Which means , it may be TRUE or FALSE .Now days, people easily believe news posted by bloggers because bloggers make it look real .
For example, if a blogger wrote bad things about someone or a company , it will cause trouble and misunderstanding. Besides that, some bloggers often shared wrong and misconceptual infomation and this wrong information will be spread to other people.
We know how fast the internet can spread news and information.
This is why bloggers are often sue while journalists are protected from having to reveal their sources in many cases.This is why bloggers must think of the consequences for what they are blogging wether it is sensitive ,provoking or benefits people. They must take responsibility for what they post.
I think we should do our research and find facts and data about the blogger first , wether his posts can be trust or not. Don't easily trust what some stranger(blogger) post unless hes someone like the 'PRIME MINISTER' .
FINALLY ,
as internet is one of the dominant media now, informations shares in great speed and almost replace the mouths of aunties
ReplyDeletethe mouths of aunties...haha!!
ReplyDeleteBut then i realized that... In dis era where internet is so good in sharing informations, the news that come out from aunty mouth is originally from internet.
So this means that aunty is using internet too...
