Current events, although totally worthy of my time, are not always of particular interest when I go looking at blogs. Blogs, for me, are more interesting when dealing with pop culture or different trends; but I am always willing to give a new type of media a chance.
Thus, let's take a look at Anderson Cooper's blog. (If you don't know Anderson Cooper he is an American journalist, author, and television personality who is most well known as the primary anchor for the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360)
A Look At The Blog:
1. The focus is mainly on US News, however, there are other articles which look at World News (as an extension of CNN, it is important to study all kinds of news).
2. There are multiple authors working with this blog. The explanation states that Anderson Cooper, the Staff at CNN, and other contributors write for articles on the site.
3. The articles are posted continuously on the blog.
4. The blog uses different forms of media to continue knowledge through video (CNN based) and images (mostly CNN based as well).
5. CNN is a credible news source, especially with its use of many contributors and a variety of staff members willing to check stories for their reliability and accuracy. Since Anderson Cooper is such a big name, it seems evident that the posts would be credible since his reputation and the reputation of the company are on the line. Without credible information, that reputation may decrease over time for both Anderson Cooper and CNN.
