Do blogs deserve the same amount of respect and attention as
“regular” news sources? With the ever-expanding quantity of bloggers in the
world, it seems as though the blogosphere does indeed warrant some sort of
credibility. That has been, probably, the greatest impact on my thoughts about
the news in the course of these past ten weeks. Prior to this class I was
skeptical of these mysterious “blogs” that were popping up incessantly. I
discovered that these blogs represent more than just the (potentially) biased
opinions of authors. Blogs also forward valid information, and readers hold
bloggers accountable because the Internet provides a convenient way to
authorize claims. I apply this knowledge as I move forward in my academic life
because I will utilize the blogosphere more often when in need of looking at a
particular approach during an assignment. In others words, blogs are no longer “off
limits” for me.
