My name is Kristen; I am a 21-year-old college student majoring in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations and a minor in Italian. I started this blog for a five week project in my media and society class at College of the Canyons. I am a first time blogger, so I am interested to see where this goes!
Before I started this class, I never really thought that much about blogs. I know I have some friends who post blogs on myspace but now that I have done more research I have realized how popular blogging has become. Blogging for some is used almost as a web based diary but for others it is used to communicate about current events all around the world. An internet search engine Technorati up to this September has tracked around 106 million blogs!
For better or worse I do believe that blogging has significantly impacted the print journalism industry. I must admit I do think it is hard to decipher which blogs use credible research and sources, and those that are simply opinions of what people think.
Here are some internet sources I used:
