How To Be A Pro Blogger
How To Be A Pro Blogger
Becoming a pro blogger is a new form of popular expression. Pro Blogging is not old. It is the technological successor to the editorial. Blogging is definitely not a quick fix.
Many bloggers actually consider their online space a visual medium. If you accept the premise that most of your readers are not bloggers, then it's highly likely they won't be amused, entertained, or informed by a continual stream of blog entries on the art of blogging. Do bloggers portend more lasting ramifications for the securities world? But of course.
Perhaps the media is in a crisis - an internal one as much as an external one. When Iran's protest was unfolding, if social media (especially blogs) had not been there, we wouldn't have known all the weird things going on that the foreign press would not have been able to have access to. What's lamentable is that mainstream media, in a desperate race to be hip, will often now quote an un-sourced blog story as a source.
Writing a weblog today isn't the bright idea it was four years ago. The time it takes to craft sharp, witty blog prose is better spent expressing yourself on Flickr, Facebook, or Twitter. Blogging is writing. Some writing is journalism. I am for that as a summation. Thanks to those who suggested it.
Many of us are still writing as if we were writing for our sixth grade teacher, writing in complete sentences, complete thoughts, and fussing over every spelling and grammar error potential. These are not writings that encourage a conversation. Everyone hears about writing blogs now and then but very few people get serious about it. Some people do not even want to reveal their ignorance and to hide that they simply do not ask what they actually are.
