I have the power of the media!!!!!!!

Hi bloggers,
Did you ever know that I have the power of the media? Not only I have the power silly, you too, have the power! Want to know why? Have a look at the video in plain English and learn more about the big deal of blogs now a days.



Here is a short summary on blogs:
What is the big deal about blogs? In the 20th century, news were produced professionally. When news happen, reporters wrote the stories and a tiny group of people decided what appeared in the newspapers or broadcast. Professional news was mainstream, general and limited. The 21st century marked the point where news became both professional and personal. A new kind of website, called a blog, came on to the scene which let anyone be a reporter and publisher often for free. As blogs be came popular, they created millions of new sources that gave everyone their own version of news. Of course, we are using the word news loosely, but really, isn't everything news to someone? People who blog are called bloghers. Well, blog made sharing news on the web easy. With a click of a button, bloggers can share news minutes later.

Here is how blogs work:
Blogs are websites, that are organised by blog posts. And overtime, an updated blog becomes a collection of these posts. Also, each blog post can become a discussion for readers for comments left by readers. And thus, blogs make the news a 2-way street.
Blogs reflect bloggers unique perspective. This helps you built a relationship with readers and bloggers with similar interest. You will read each others post, quote each other, and link your blogs together. This creates communities of bloggers that inspire and motivate each other to post more.

Blog facts:
Since 2003, there had been 70 over million blogs created, each with its own version of news.

So the big deal about blogs is that it gives people like you the power of the media, and create a personal kind of news, that appeals to a high number of small audiences.


So, to end off, it is up to you. What will you do with this kind of power. There is likely a group of people out there who wants to hear what you have to say.
