Another good thing about social media is that it is extremely dynamic and people nowadays are craving for dynamic sources of news. I like what you said about the reputation of blogs and comparing it to reputation of trad media. It makes absolute sense! Good stuff :) Hi Manil,

I know of journalist who make use of online forums, social networks, blogs, and now twitter to get the latest updates in the community or around the world on what's hot. Many people always downplay the credibility of blogs... they have their strong reasons why... but i think blogs have their very good functions as well. Unlike trad media, there's no government, no editor, no major money conditions to influence the media and the writing. And like trad media.... there are the really good ones like Reuters and BBC where their credibility is no in doubt.... blogs also function the same way too. Obviously you do not read a dodgy blog and believe its ridiculous claims... Reputation is key in reporting and it doesnt matter what media it takes place in. Sorry trad media... but you guys better buck up faster with regards to social media. PEACE! I think social media shouldn’t be underestimated as a source of credible news.
