Blogs as a journalistic sources

Mato Brautović ; Sveučilište u Dubrovniku

Abstract

Bloggers are producing more stories than all journalists in The Associated
Press together. Similarly, the blog posts are becoming more and more important source
of information in journalism and muckraking. The problem with the blogs is the fact
that they are very easily created, much more easily than a web site, which is one of the
reasons for their immense popularity. The technocrats declare in their reports that 3 to 7
thousand blog posts are daily registered, with one purpose only: spreading propaganda
and lie. However, one should always bear in mind that the blogs are personal Internet
sites on which their authors knowingly release stories under their own names or a
pseudonym.
