Is blogging journalism? It's a question that many poeple have asked, what with the world changing and becoming more and more revolved around technology. In my opinion I would have to say that blogging is journalism. As sad as that fact is, it's true. Journalism is reporting news and facts. There are blogs out there that do just that. I would love to be able to tell you that no, our world of newspapers and facts that have to be read on paper are still going strong, but they're not. Newspapers have started putting their information onto a computer, and now you can look up facts simply by going to a search engine.
There are those that say that blogging isn't journalism, but what is journalism really? It's facts, stories, and most of the time, truth. I can easily go out into the world, find a fact, find a story, and find some truth and put it onto my blog. That post is an easy example of journalism. I would rather have journalism only be the way it was, like in the good old days, but it's not. The world is changing and so is the world of journalism. So yes, blogging is in fact journalism. Deal with it. Life must go on, even if the old ways don't.
