Discussion Question #1

Honestly, I believe that the pro of blogging does not outweigh the cons of blogging. True enough blogging has its advantage of providing individuals with information at a rapid speed, but the question is how factual is this information. 98% of blogging is all opinionated, rather than a more formal approach, like the television or newspaper, of actually investigating the situation or event that transpires. Blogging is more on the lines of being, in my opinion, an advice column or something along those lines. Many people post things they heard from someone down the street, or how they feel at the present time about an incident. When you look at it—there still is a lack of factual information. The questions that we seek are How did this transpire, or what really happened, or maybe even Why? Unlike the television or newspaper, blogging does not provide us with the in depth factual information of events and state of affairs that we seek. Therefore, the formal way seems to be more of quality regardless of the time frame.
