News in the Blogosphere
After reading many different blogs and news sources about people involved in the War in Iraq, I think that the people that are blogging about their experiences are more accurate than news reporters. I say this because, in many circumstances, the news is not allowed to say many things that might offend some viewers or make them lose some of their audience. The people who are blogging about their daily lives in Iraq don’t care about who is reading their blogs, they are just blogging to have somewhere to put down their thoughts.
For example, and Iraqi girl blogs about her fears and how unsafe Iraq is during this time of war.
Before two weeks, our neighbor’s brother who is about 30 years old, married and having a kid did’t return to home. They thought that he was kidnapped and they waited a call from the people who kidnapped him, wanted money for the sake of his release. Unfortunately, no one call. And two days later he was found in the postmortem room. Today, our neighbor called and said that he is leaving Iraq to Armenia .
The basic is:
We are still insecure and in danger even when we are in our own house. But life goes on.
Many times in the news, we do not get first-hand stories like we do from people who are actually involved in the war. The news is made up of things that journalists say and assume, which many times can be false.
However, many blogs are not advertised nearly as much as newspapers and news websites. I think they should be advertised equally so that people could get news from many different sources, instead of just one or two.
