Question:

What will happen to your blogs when class is over?

s*** happens...

Well, sorry for this little mess up today, nevertheless I hope you got the most important points. Concerning the net, one should keep in mind that:
- blogs are citizen voices, sometimes without any attempt of verification
- the flood of information on the web appears to be confusing
- traditional principles like objectivity, professional independence and emphasis on trying to verify facts ususally hardly applies to any news organization anymore, which I think is the greatest problem in the media landscape

Above all, I think people like to check news online because they can search by interest, look up background information, discuss about certain issues in blogs, compare news and what is most important, online news are always up-to-date!

So, as I said, if you have any questions regarding the advantages and disadvantages on the handout or if you want to add anything, please post a comment!
Anyway, thanks for listening and discussing!

The "BILD"

I can hardly believe it but it seems to be true: The German BILD is by circulation the world´s 5th largest newspaper! Do you think this is good or bad news?
