Most of the personal blogs today are not journalism, but a medium for someone to express themselves. to write out their daily events, opinion and even some sensitive, religious or political views. These kinds of blogs mentioned are not journalism as most of them do not have a formal, reliable source of research, and some is not informative in content. Besides, they are not under the protection of laws and they will get sued for insulting any group of society such as country, religion, sex and moreover.
