MCM310 Journalistic Writing GDB Solution Fall Semester 2012
Writing is a source of communication. It gives you an opportunity to think and view things from different perspectives. Journalistic writing is no doubt a specific kind of writing in which your choice of words or language is very much sophisticated and formal, in other words journalistic. While the new media, i-e Blogs, is also emerging day by day and getting popular among masses. Even newspaper had started blogging at their official websites.

According to your opinion, how much blogging is different from our traditional journalistic writing? Logically discuss with examples. Also discuss what are the difference between a News story and a Blog?
Solution:
For the most part, blogging is not journalism. That’s my response to the longstanding debate about whether bloggers are journalists. Bloggers who don’t apply good standards of journalism shouldn’t be offered the same privileges as journalists. Similarly, journalists who fail to apply the same good standards should be stripped of privileges and prestige.
The basic principle is this: There are at least two sides to any story, usually more. Real journalists present all sides of a story, using multiple sources for balance and doing original reporting wherever possible. A quick survey of blogs reveals that many bloggers reporting news generally offer one side of the story. This one-sided difference is partly responsible for the Web being polluted by gossip, rumor and innuendo posing as news.
