Blogs and the Internet Changing Our News?

Blogs and the Internet have made news more convenient and accessible to audiences.

With the internet, people don’t have to read the newspaper or wait for a certain time to get the daily news. They can find the stories they are looking for with a few clicks, and even filter through the ones that do not interest them. What also adds to the convenience is the fact that people can search for older stories and ones they may have missed on TV.

The internet also allows readers to search for stories in other parts of the country, or even the world, which is very useful for people who travel or want more than their local news.

Blogging is another online medium that has changed news reporting. It allows people to comment and share their opinion about a story. This can help other people better understand the situation, and maybe change someone's thinking with their point of view. Blogging could also enhance a report. Someone, for example, who was a witness or has further information beyond what was reported can add more detail or post pictures.
