A Blog

Kline and Burstein discuss how blogging plays a role in today’s political society.  It states that bogging will soon become a strong part in the media replacing newspapers and television networks.  In the 2004 election over 31 million people visited a political blog site.  Political blogs have become a vital source of news and opinion for millions of Americans and may start to be an alternative of other media.  They also make a good point that most meia sources are bias…you hear one opinion of that news station whether they been democrat or republic.  Blogging is a variety of opinions there fore it does not pull you in one direction, you have the right to freely choos which articles you wanna read based on your poitical party. 

After reading Dan Burstein’s 12 Key Ideas in “From Cave Painting to Wonkette” I could relate most to #3: “Blogging in addition to being a huge phenomenon in its own right is the key metaphor for interactivity, community-building, and genuine conversation: one to one, one to many, many to one, and many to many.”  Although there is instant messaging, which is one to one communication.  It does not voice your opinion publicly like blogging does.  I feel that blogging lets you communicate on a public level and then getting feed back on your opinions.  Blogging will definitely be webbed into the function of our media for the future.  For one on one communication it is a good way to find people with the same opinion as you do.  I feel like the comments section is very important for people who may not be confidant enough to write their own blog or speak their mind but it allows them to make some small public contribution on a topic that interests them.
