JOURNALISM BLOGS
What is a blog?
What is a blog?
• A personal diary?
(Does a blog resemble a diary?)
• The same as a newspaper column?
(Does each blog post resemble a
columnist‟s writing?)
• What makes a blog different from other
kinds of writing and other kinds of
websites?

Journalism blogs: An introduction
Vocabulary: The blog
Vocabulary: A post on a blog
“The Lede is a blog that
remixes national and
international news stories —
adding information gleaned
from the Web or gathered
through original reporting —
to supplement articles in The
New York Times and draw
readers in to the global
conversation about the news
taking place online.”

Use of videos and photos
Perspectives on the news (instead of
reporting the news)
“Generally, the blog author establishes
a relationship based on trust
with his or her audience. This relationship
is intentionally personal, in contrast
to the professional objective detachment
of a journalist … Bloggers, however,
speak directly to their readers.
„The personalities of the writers come
through. That is the essential element
of blog writing‟ (Winer, 2003).”
Armstrong and McAdams (2009)
