Other Blogs

   I found the 10,000 Words blog of 3 Rules for Getting To Sources On Social Media to be very interesting. It offered three rules on the best way to reach out to a source on social media and get them to respond. A positive thing about this blog was that the rules were numbered, easy to follow and straight to the point. A negative thing was that it didn't give extra information on the rules or anything related to them. I think this blog cannot be considered journalism because it wasn't about news, it was only the author's advice/tips. The blogger should be considered a journalist because even though it was advice, I could tell he or she was experienced and knew about interviewing people in journalism.

   The second blog I looked at was the Global Voices blog of Tokyo to Host 2020 Olympics. This was about the news that Tokyo was chosen by the International Olympic Committee to be the host of the 2020 Olympics. A good thing I noticed was that this blog included a link to a picture related to the topic. Also, the title catches the reader's attention because many people are interested in the olympics. A negative thing about it was how short it is and how little information it gave. The reader clicks on it expecting to find more detail but all they find is one sentence that gives about as much information as the title. I don't think this can be considered journalism because of the lack of information. I am sure this blogger is not a journalist because the blog was very poorly done and it didn't in any way reflect the writings of a true journalist.
