The internet has made news much more easily accessible. The news is quickly updated on the internet which gives people the information that they want and need as it is happening. Although broadcast journalism is able to accomplish delivering the news in a quick manner, it is not nearly as convenient as reading the news on the internet at your leisure, whether it is on your iphone, at work, during class, on an airplane etc... The internet has revolutionized the way the news is reported and it has, consequently, lead to the continuous downfall of print journalism. (However, I am a firm believer that print journalism will never go completely out of style.)
Blogs were originally used for gossip and as a way to truly exercise our first amendment rights. Blogs evolved from mere, angsty status updates to a commonly used way of retrieving news. Blogs are used by people from all over the world, ranging from various ages, professions, genders and classes. This diversified range of consumers can create a media bias for many of the blogs. Again, similar to the revolution regarding the internet, blogs have created a much faster way to report the news. However, due to the wide range of people updating their blogs, the news posted on blog sites is subject to being untrue and bias.
