What kind of blogger am I?

Journalism is a broad field that attracts the masses on a daily basis. The world as we know it today has somewhat changed to how it was previously e.g. a century ago. I feel that the principles, morals and ethics of journalism have tremendously changed and mostly for the worse.
Journalism can be viewed in different ways and this often leads to confrontation with the public. A journalist can be used as a voice for the people and this can influence his style of writing. The other method is when a journalist or in this case the writer gives their own opinion or viewpoint. Journalists often forget how much of an impact their articles have on the outside world thus I believe journalism students should be taught the correct principles and ethics from day one. The great Edward Bulwer-Lytton was the first to mention that, “THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD” and I believe this should be repeatedly mentioned to all journalism students. Journalism is probably one of the most powerful tools on the planet which could be used to create or demolish opinions.

Conclusively I would like to state that it might be necessary to rearrange the methods of journalism that we have been raised with and now live with. We are in a technological era where news spreads instantaneously. By making use of major trends such as the use of social networking to gathering vast amounts of judgments to determine what the public feels might be necessary. Instead of being secluded from front page and only viewing it as a third person news we should be involved and try express the events.
