Blogging has changed the way the modern news works, no longer do we have to hope that we are no being lied to by the corporate news media, they are in it for the money after all. Today anyone can be a journalist , although blogs are not always taken that serious it still gives us the oppurtunity to speak out about things close to us, about issues we could in no other way share and solve.
Blogging keeps the news open minded and also enables you to see what other people think about certain topics as the news usually just gives facts according to them, bloggers can give their opinion and lets you see how other people feel.
Blogging enables all the sides of a news story to show their side of the story, it gives those that can not speak or defend themselves the means of making themselves heard.
Blogging lets you see in the mind of those that you might not otherwise speak to and comments on a blog lets you know that what you are thinking is sain or not.
