Why Discredit Bloggers So Easily?

But really, why discredit bloggers so easily?

Bloggers can be trusted to a certain extent, yes I see this, but there are times when they can be helpful to a company. I brought up in class the other day that bloggers can be found useful to newspapers and companies. Actually newspapers have already seized this idea of using bloggers to bring in a new audience for the new media age online.

If they like what a blogger is writing or believe it, they can and will recruit said blogger and pay them to write for their company whatever they want for their companies purposes of course. Thus, giving backing to the bloggers themselves and making them credible sources of information. Yes, this would mean that bloggers would become reporter's in the sense of the word, but also a blogger's accreditation has been given.

I have read some funny quotes about blogging. One in particular states, "blogging requires passion and authority, which leaves out most people." Passion is one of the key words in this statement that makes it very true. A person needs passion behind writing, but even more so, a blog. Who would want to write for fun? Poets, professors (possibly), musicians, etc. But in this case I can state that bloggers have a sense of intense passion behind their writing. Their reason for blogging can be because of strong emotions such as intense hate, anger, joy, happiness, etc. But bloggers need something to write about and most of the blog posts are behind some sort of emotion and the sense of needing to be heard.

Another is, "Blogging. With the right stage and the right choice, there's not limit to the size of your audience." This quote says it all, once it's on the internet, it's everywhere.
