Are Blogs Legitimate Forms of News?

Base on my experience with blogs, there are more benefits to blogging than not. Although blogs are easy to start but hard to maintain, writing coherently is one of the most difficult and time consuming tasks for us as students. However, blogs are the easy way to keep people updated on your life, your business and any project you are working on. The constructive criticism or comment(s) you received from people who follow your blogs helps redirect your thought and shape you accordingly.

Another good thing about blogs is that it helps students to get into the habit of writing, which helps them in all their future endeavors. Blogs also enable students with various personalities to participate in a discussion far more effectively, and exchange their news on topics of common interest.

According to Douglas Idugboe, Digital and New Media Marketing Strategist, Founder and Chief Editor of Smediol! A Canadian Bestselling Author, Speaker and Trainer, who loves Technology, “Where to bog” should be determined by individual needs, target audience, budget and integration with other social networks.
