Blog about Blogs

Even though he was elected president there is no sign of paradise

According to Alan Mutter’s blog, there is not enough money to help journalistic institutions all over America. In hopes to salvage whatever is left of print journalism grants are in immediate need. Newspaper circulation has decreased and advertisement has decreased. In his blog he expresses his concerns about the future of journalism because it is also his career. In his blog he elaborates on the necessity of financial help to preserve the industry. At some extent it is alarming for me as a reader to see the large amounts of money that is needed.

In Paul Watson blog he mentioned the heated debate with Ron Paul about Obama foreign policy. Watson elaborated on the contradiction that Obama said when referring to the war and the troops in Afghanistan. According to his blog, Obama said he would bring the troops home from Iraq but instead sent more than 30,000 troops. In Watson’s blog, I can sense the disappointment or anger in his writing.

In Kimberly Hill’s blog, she discusses the new policy blog that Google launched this week. According to Hill the blog is designed to let policy makers all around the world have a chance to share their opinions with policy makers and corporate sponsored blogs.

In all these blogs there are different writing styles that I appreciate. In the first blog the tone I got when I read it was concerned and wanting a call to action. In the second blog I felt that the blogger wanted to point out that just because Obama is president, that doesn’t mean he is going to save the country from its own policy. And the last blog there is a neutral informative tone, the reporting job was very well done.
