Blogging: A Form of Journalism or a Rant?

During the duration of this course my perception on blogging has changed. At first I use to think oh blogging that's people getting online and just ranting and raving their views on things that are going on in the world. To me journalism is the things you see in a newspaper or in magazine, less opinions, more facts, that sort of stuff. Then as the class progressed I started to realize that blogging is a style of journalism. When we see all these website and we see people talking about what is going on in the world they are a form of a journalism.

Being opinionated and boasting about your views on something is completely a form of a journalism. It may not be the style of journalism I'm accustom to, but definitely one I really like. I see that this form of journalism is an easier way to express how you feel while informing the masses. To say whatever you feel on anything is pretty cool if you ask me. So I went to believing that blogging was just a way you can rant about your views.
