This blog is a reflection of current matters that arise which are linked to digital culture. It will examine the purpose of why digital culture's popularity has risen in the past 10 years. The critical and academic blog will focus on the digital age and how it's impact is affecting the 21st century, and even the future. The blog will include links, pictures, videos and references to media. This reflection will use critical thinking to show the new medias outlook on the world in its current form. This blog isn't a personal view on the topic, unlike Heather Armstrong's.
This post is my personal interpretation on our assessment objectives for this part of my degree. The blog needs to show my version of topics that were discussed in lectures through the use of analysis.
Blogs can be used in the political sense, like the Daily Kos. This blog is a political take on the world, which expresses views from a liberal point of view. "To express yourself creatively was the highest ranking reason of why to create a blog"; Fox, 2006. Safe to say my blog and the Daily Kos do not follow what Fox said.
The blog I am writing is going to look at how the changes in the media in the past 30 years have impacted on the industry. For example, multi-platforming is now more common than ever in news for example. The Guardian's articles are now available on Facebook, my blog will discuss the pro's and con's of decisions made by the media.
This video states that anyone these days can create a blog. Can this be a positive thing? Some blogs are posted by people who voice controversial posts, which then create debates over the internet. Mumsnet asked Gordon Brown what his favourite biscuit was, the posts on Mumsnet were then discussing why he didn't chose to answer the question, which then questioned his status as Prime Minister at the time.
Many people these days have blogs, some personal, some professional. My blog sums up the current view on the digital age we now live in and how its impact changes the media.
