In The Atlantic article “Why I Blog,” Andrew Sullivan explores a relatively new and compelling medium of communication, blogging. He discusses how blogging has changed writing from a future oriented process of writing to a rather provisional sense of writing. Consequently, this makes the process of editing, revising, polishing and ultimately publishing almost non-existent in the realm of blogging. Sullivan goes on to note how the usage of blogs has created a bond between the reader and the author, and the pace at which that bond travels is seamless. Sullivan writes, “And the intimate bond this creates with readers is unlike the bond that the Times, say, develops with its readers through the same events.” Quite notably in this quote, Sullivan explains that the formal writing often associated with well known traditional newspapers, such as The New York Times, seems to lack a human quality; Whereas, blogging generates that constant flux of thoughts and paves a path of reassessment, through feedback from readers. “To blog is therefore to let go of your writing in a way, to hold it at arm’s length, open it to scrutiny, allow it to float in the ether for a while, and to let

The history of journalism in the United States has spanned from the first colonist crossing the Atlantic Ocean to today’s mass media. Even before we were a country we had printers and journalists writing and printing stories for the people.

Looking back at these time periods we can see what was considered “news” and what was “newsworthy”, the dominate issues of the periods, and how far we have come as a society from those issues.

The overview of the subject matter is that the big worry is that quality will decline Journalists are employed to check their facts and they get checked in turn by editors who question the reliability of their sources; we trust the paper’s brand not the individual journalist. Social media could be reliable, but how would we know? This is equally true then it comes to bias.
