So as my first blog, I have thought for the longest time "what would I write about?!" So I decided to start off by talking about what a blog is, what the controversy is all about and a little time line.
Dictionary.com defines a blog as :
n. an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log
Blogs began to take form in the mid-90's. However, they originally were thread conversations which we now see as comment pages. Usenet was the primary medium which allowed all posting in a newsgroup to be under the control of an individual or small group. The modern blog eventually evolved from an online diary and can be controlled by anyone.
Now the current controversy is whether or not blogs should be considered journalism. Most people feel that blogs are just opinions and are not news. I agree.
