Some people just want to get on and be updated, even through blogging, thats where the issue of getting news online comes in. I know as a college student, and always being busy, it is often difficult to catch the news on a daily basis, so I tend to go online and look at important news updates through the archives. The question I wonder is that even if I go on News sites such as CNN.com, does that still hurt the news station? Because I am still getting my information from them, just not through watching it on my television screen. I am technically getting it through alternative media.
My main point here is that blogs to me, are not a bad thing, they have become so popular, and you can read them about almost anything. A lot of times they are very opinionated, so thats where I think mainstream media may want to question the sources and background information. Alternative media has also become popular through the years, and in my opinion I think it helps news stations in some aspects because it makes people want to tune into broadcasts.
