Social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, BlogSpot are relevant in society today because they are fast and easy accessible to a wide variety of audiences. Smartphones and tablets now have apps designed specifically for these types of outlets, for journalism on the go. These outlets are relatively new, and many people have been quick to jump on the bandwagon. Everyone wants to see what the hype is about, and once emerged social media outlets become addicting. The fast-faced atmosphere is perfect for the journalism industry, as something new is always happening.
A blog needs to be interesting and able to capture its reader’s attention. When reading, it is apparent when the subject appears dull. Therefore it is important that the blog writer be passionate about the topics featured on their blog. If I were to start my own personal blog, I would focus on areas that I understand and have knowledge or personal experience on, for example starting as a college freshman or going through Sorority Recruitment week. Many blogs are also controversial, sparking discussion and response, which is important.
