News Stories On Your Blogging Website

By Ian Pelham

One of the most exciting, yet controversial, aspects of blogging is the ability to blog things just as they happen. The blogosphere is an active part of the internet and there is the ability to blog almost instantaneously.

Unlike news delivered by these types of media, blog news doesnt require editors and others who administrate the news so it gets to the public eye much faster. There are advantages and disadvantages to this medium.

One example where blogs hit the media before the press took place during the bombing of a London subway in July 2005.

There was an explosion and, as passengers were getting out of the subway, one guy took several photos and uploaded them online. The first-person stories of the even showed up on blogs and there were those all over the world reading the exact words of the bloggers and survivors.

The crisis felt really immediate to those who saw those images spread directly from those who were involved in the crisis across the globe.

Blogging has the potential to become a new era in journalism by putting the power of words into the common person who happened to be at the wrong place at the right time.

Many in the blogging world as well as cultural commentators in the blogging movement believe that this is a good trend and one that makes the dissemination of information a democratic process.

It decentralizes the world of news and allows more voices to debate on the issues at hand. Others, however, are just as adamant about not having this as a method of news dissemination.

There arent any fact checkers in the world of blogs and there is no journalistic accountability. This could lead to the spread of bad information. More than one piece of misinformation has been spread through this fashion.

There are complicated issues around whether or not blogging news as it happens is an ethical thing. No matter where you stand on the issue, however, you are sure to agree that this is a fascinating new method that is destined to change the news industry.

Those who are interested in blogging will find that debt, consolidation and other financial topics are being blogged about. Techniques designed to help you make and manage your money are among the most popular topics for bloggers.

Unfortunately, getting into debt is much too easy, and many find that getting out of debt is a difficult proposition. For those who really understand the process, blogging in order to help others is a way to share the wealth with others.

If you are trying to get into blogging, the topics of savings, debt, consolidation and investing topics are ones to consider blogging about. Many professional bloggers use advertising to blog every day about money and make a decent living off of it.

If you find that youre knowledgeable on negotiating settings with credit card companies, loan consolidation and other money issues, share that knowledge in a worthwhile blog.

When you share what you know, you may be able to aid your readers in the process of getting out of debt while you make money from selling advertising space.
