Public Journalism

(Nardi, A., Bonnie et al. 1).

I am now officially within the sphere of internet based journalism! Personally it was not difficult for me to post a blog since I am technologically literate I am aware of the communication systems. The process of setting up a blog was incredibly easy but it will be a challenge since I am versatile and ever-changing, I will most likely discard whatever I wrote and replace it with yet another idea. I encountered no problems in manually setting up the blog, but my biggest issue will be the syntax that I use and the pre-occupation of not being creative or provocative enough to stimulate readers. I am assuming that part of the latent component of the blog is to express freedom of speech, even in the architectural style of writing. I researched what constitutes as a blog and this description was offered:

“Blogs combine the immediacy of up-to-the-minute posts, latest first, with a strong sense of the author's personality, expertise, and point of view. Unlike most mainstream journalism in which efforts at objectivity influence presentation, blogs are unabashedly partisan, infused with authors' assessments, assumptions, and attitudes” (Nardi, A., Bonnie et al. 1).

In other words, this is my chance to express my opinions and experiences. Since this is my first blog in my eighteen years of living, it should be rather interesting to see how I will develop in terms of style, communication and expression.
