Chapter 4: Citizen Journalists?
The internet changed how journalism really works. Blogs can be used to write about any topic, uncensored. People can state their opinions about politics, current news, and even everyday issues. Blogs can be used as a type of journalism by how people express themselves through what they write. They have the ability to convey news to an outside source. Blogs attract a different group of people, and can be considered a type of journalism because the amount of freedom they have.
Chapter Five: Blogs as narratives
In this chapter, Rettberg explains how blogs are forms of narratives. She says that blogging is an episodic style of writing that leads to a particular narrative structure. Blogs are stories told in brief episodes- a beginning and an end. Some blogs focus on goals and others may focus on self exploration. A person can write about their life, but they don’t need to insert every detail, only what they chose to write about.
