Reflection

Start blogging was a challenge for me as I was not a blogger and not really web-savvy. I started blogging by discussing blogging issues with my friends, consulting to books, and doing an online research about blog and the issues.

Maintaining a blog has helped me familiarize with web blogging, any issue regarding web publishing and multimedia, and ethics in publishing. Moreover it has become a great experience in learning to write academic ands reliable articles for online publication.
I strongly believe blogging should be everyone’s skill as blog has emerged as today’s alternative source of information. By equipping ones with the knowledge of writing and cyberspace world, they will be versatile and can be the product of ready-to-use for the higher requirement of future industries demand.

Blog has modified people’s conventional ways in getting and disseminating information. A blogger must seriously consider its main targeted audience and purpose in settling a blog. In my opinion, the existence of blog should encourage more open debate to allow people not only voicing out their opinion but also getting information from different perspective. Moreover, bloggers should be urged to comprehend others culture, reconsidering the document before posting whether it will insult or ridicule others. Therefore, bloggers are not only obliged to write a good piece of informative and accurate document, but also understand and apply journalistic ethics in their articles.
