One Man & His Blog: Work in Progress: Types of Blog Post

  • Kristine · 2 years ago

    Ouch, think I might have posted a half-written comment by mistake, but here's what I was planning to say: lots of good stuff here but not sure about the bit on how 100% original reporting is bad. I think original reporting can be great on a blog if you get the tone right, so it's e.g more open-ended, more informal or opinionated in a way that will spark constructive debate + link to sources, background or perhaps your opponents. I think I know what you're getting at, just needs a slight reformulation, but my mind is too full of other stuff right now to visualise it.. in fact, what am I doing surfing thru my rss-feeds? Better get back to those deadline. I'm sure good examples of blogs that get it right and get it wrong will bring out the points that need to be made though...

    Kristine: You have a point. I suppose that I've over-emphasised it because journalists I deal with tend to skew so strongly in favour of nothing but original reporting. One of the things I need to do it open their eyes to the other possibilities.



    Cyberscribe:: Memes are a good idea. I shudder at the very thought of original poetry from our journalists…

    What about the meme/tags and the fictional/creative writing and poetry posts? Go on say, what about them? :-)
