[videoblogging] Re: Re: watching personal videos
I think we have all come to a realization that journalism as we know it can and is biased and generalized. The difference between traditional journalism and blogging is the perspective. We expect bloggers to express their views and to some extent, expect their views to be biased towards themselves. However we expect traditional journalism to be unbiased and precise, which is quite impossible in itself as humans are not able to be completely without biased. I personally prefer to read different perspectives on the same subject and to come to my own conclusion (ie different blogger perspectives on the current events in France) than to hear my six o'clock news summarize the events and underlying reasons for me as I'm sure it would have some kind of spin on it.

Jay was setting things up to mean 'journalism == lazy, unresearched stories; blogs == The Truth(tm)'. The generalization is very far from what's going on. Some journalistic stories are not fact-checked, but they are in the minority. Some blog entries are great investigative journalism, but they are in the minority. okay..funny thing was...i was trying to say there is a balance between the truth in blogs and the truth in tradiotional media. think of the last time a traditional news outlet covered something you knew intimately (ie videblogging). were all the facts correct? is there a blog that may have the facts more correct becasue the person focuses just on that subject? this isnt about blogs vs traditional media. its about acknowledging that the flow of info is changing. bloggers if anything are fact checkers. Blogging in itself isn't more true than any other medium. It's just as easy to lie to promote an agenda on a blog - probably easier since you don't have to try and sneak your lie past an editor. again, I think this may be a matter of culture. Andreas is in Denmark where their traditional media may be more secure. in the US where i live, you can SEE the spin in every story reported. this is why the Daily Show is one of the most popular shows on US TV...by shining a light on the absurdity of US news coverage. having an editor may mean you MUST twist the truth. blogs do not equal truth. my point was simply that blogs help tell the story. showing my bias, bloggers such as http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ do a great job piecing together the facts of a storyyou can judge his credibility by going through his archives. Josh Marshall did a recent group of postings on the specific flow of events of the Bush admnistration manufacturing the story of the Niger/nuclear/Iraq connection. when i worked at CNNtrust me...we didnt have time to do weeks of research...you find other people to tell the story...and fact check the best you can. But bloggers are telling the storyand are now can affect how traditional journalism works. wait till we get more video coming from important events around the world. i would kill to see videoblogs from the rioting in Paris. who are these people...what are their motivations?...what does it sound like? jay Yahoo!

RE: [videoblogging] Re: stuff..
Essentially both are a form of advertising, paid or unpaid. It's just harder to get word of mouth advertising. But in my humble opinion, if I had more viewers, I would be more motivated to make more videos, possibly invest more into software and hardware. I guess it's mostly ego, if I was smarter...it would financial benefit.
