Why a journalist should have a blog? Abstract
Tener un blog tiene un peso especial para quienes ejercen la noble tarea del periodismo, por varias razones.
Una es que permite ser amo(a) y señor(a) de un medio de comunicación y administrarlo a gusto, en forma gratuita.
Este espacio sirve además para publicar todos los contenidos que, de otra forma, jamás habrían visto la luz. En esto se incluye información relevante de hechos que el periodista ha reporteado in their daily work, but for some reason have been cut in the official media.
By the way, also be put to the fore issues that usually do not take up much space, but involving more than one.
Finally, having a blog is an excellent calling card for any journalist, who can cite the URL to display their writing and research skills. In this way, also makes its presence in the virtual space, which as parallel world requires our presence as real and concrete as in the here and now. Complete
profile pen rests traveling this time on its own existence on the web. In hands of a journalist becomes the possibility of becoming a communication medium itself, giving it a special glow to the author. How so?
always dreamed of making a magazine. In some groups where I participated, I did some bulletins, which were discontinued over time. And the motivation was not so much generate communication within the group, as do my own taste for writing and communicating.
Hence, the blog promises a dream come true: it is published in advance, and really does not cost anything, but nothing, upload content. Applying
sufficient certainty and consistency, it can provide a good online magazine, interesting at least for those who share the love of the same issues, and to those who hardly have been reached through the paper format.
This plus may have implications particularly critical. It is something to appreciate what happened to so many correspondents in the Middle East, whose contents were cut by the official media, in response to the editorial line conditions. In such cases, the blog was the newspaper that reported what was past, and came directly to readers. Noble
service to humanity, no doubt. But who do you like most navel-gazing, looking out for your own convenience, the blog provides a window with ranges of figuration decisive for his own career.
This is a journalist quoted expert on the subject on its Web
http://www.blocdeperiodista.blogspot.com/. Concise and clearly, the author states "empty or journalist who wants to change employers, your blog will be the presentation folder."
then adds that "There will be articles, show your teeth, be it in its purest form without the 'intermediation odious editor."
Outside the allusion to the editor, a position that any reporter could aspire, the virtual log can be an excellent portfolio to be released at their craft. One hand in particular released to immerse the reader in a subject, an adequate management of sources, an ability to contribute to the story of the day to day, you can look in a window free blogspot name, and incidentally, have a recognition in the event of no collaborating with any traditional media.
"For the journalist activity, your blog will help you become visible and open a new channel to him," continues blocdeperiodista.blogspot.com. Bone ... no blog, is it invisible?
So it seems. As if there are parallel worlds. The real world and virtual world. The first, radios, newspapers, magazines and television. The other, with a piece of each, a hybrid gun This seems more immediate than reality. And as a practicing in the day to day, it seems they also have to keep practicing in the past ... of the screen.
"The blogosphere is a" field ", a" sphere "of trade, a" space "... a community," says Mauricio Hoffman himself, a journalist and host of Teletrece. Bad luck was, yes, when the newspaper began publishing The Fourth articles of a sensationalist statements Hoffman in his blog disappeared. And, apparently, the worlds do not intersect. The real world does not provide any leads to the virtual world news. Our reporter simply he found a niche in the beyond, in the parallel world. His epitaph
virtual
wrote "I hope we meet again in the" blogosphere "as this phenomenon has grown so much to stop" the news "and when finally becomes impossible not to be here."
course, this happened a couple of years, a century for the Internet. Now it is impossible not to be there, as we predict this inadvertent and occasional prophet.
And there we are, then.
