Blogs are not that hard to make and it became really popular today. It is still developing which is in progress. So people like mainstream journalists make their own blogs, however they are not the only one who make the blogs, anyone can make it about any subject. Many blogs provide personal information or online diaries, and commentary on particular subject. The question is about the biggest issue facing blogging, citizenship and the future of media. There are several issues about it, and some of them are easy to realize. One is that the blog does not really include privacy, because anyone can access to the particular blog and read what they have in that blog.
However, I think the biggest issue is that as the number of personal blog increases and develops, many people can easily see others’ personal online diaries or information. This leads to the effect of less privacy. In the personal blogs, people write more about their own thoughts and opinions rather than the certain accurate information. And other people may reply about their opinion, so mostly it is filled with information plus their opinions. One important thing is that there is no guarantee that the information is hundred percent accurate or true, however we tend to believe most information there. For example, I read about some commentary on a particular celebrity, and it totally changed my point of view about that celebrity. Thus sometimes wrong information flows and people get confuses.
By looking at this issue, I am pretty sure that we will have bigger problem in the future, in terms of digital innovation and development of media. This does not mean that digital innovation is bad for the future, but we have to think about some of these negative effects as the media develops. Blogging became more than a way to communicate now, and getting popular and popular. This is why we have to study more about it, and think about the way to prevent these issues.
