Blog 11- Scholarly Journal Summary + Words

 Scholarly Journal Summary - Mapping the journalism–blogging relationship
The scholarly journal I searched on the MLK Database was a piece written by Wilson Lowery discussing the relationship between traditional journalism and more of the modern style of blogging. It was a lengthy piece, which usually don't keep my attention  however this piece managed to do that throughout its entirety. In the journal, Lowery not only discusses the pros and cons and similarities and differences, he also touched up on some background and history information of the different styles of published writing. Journal writing is unique because it provides a very individual style in each article written

I found this article to actually be pretty interesting not only because it is relevant to my major, but that it brought up a number of interesting points. It brought up factors which include the degree to which journalists control the definition of problems and inference to solutions, as well as the successes in  which they solve problems.  From another perspective, it talked about the variety of difficulties posed by external and internal factors which have led journalism to neglect certain types of news, which in turn have been poached by bloggers.

In my experiences experimenting with journalistic writing and blog writing, I found both to be useful in their own ways, and depending on the topic being discussed, it should be written in that certain style.
