Well the endless number of posts about blogs and its uses are definitely redundant but this one caught my attention. There was an article on www.cnn.com about how blogs are taking over the journalism industry. I feel that probably in the long run, bloggers will take over the news industry. The article talks about how internet bloggers were the first people to expose or rather "challenge the authenticity of the documents" in the CBS case which took place a couple weeks ago.
However, personally I would question the legitimacy of any news passed on or published by internet bloggers since the identity and credibility of any internet user and blogger cannot be confirmed. I feel that internet blogging would be a good enviornment for starting rumours which could have many negative effects on people's everyday life. Well i guess this is a point of debate and am pretty sure many people would disagree with me.
This is the article.
