| Journalism is meant for wordy minded people?Do the spaghetti verbose satisfy the readers?.I think its difficult to make an article with simple and most effective way to be attractive and brief.May be due to inexperience or my ignorance.Blog world is very popular.Many are involved in this field.An article is shared among many blogs and information is raced in information superhighway every second.The tagging and all those bookmarking,feedburnings etc serves as the tools for the hungry minded info hunters.I was "digg"ing through some tags and found an article in Orielly network blog. In an article by Spencer Critchley talks about the tips for bloggers.....I had some revelation abt the concepts thats add up here "Respect the value of people's time....Know ones point, get to it quickly, and make the content dense with value ." Value is the important criterion I think, otherwise people wont visit frequently to your blog,the quality and truthness of information. "Opinions are not facts, even your opinions. Opinions make personal journalism lively." As he said ,eventhough I abridge his article , I m free to add up my opinions in this information free cyberworld. "Have a strong focus, and relate everything to it. A good focus is a simple idea that people care about--in a newspaper story." As webvibz concentrate on new web technologies and happening arounds in net,I think its responsiblity of a netizen to spread and contribute knowledge to people.In an article unnecessary scribblings can divert readers from the topic.That may lead to loose interest as I usually experiences reading some blogs. I think its difficult to develop a lede for this weblogazine in a short time.It will come from experience. "Use plain speech, and talk like a real person. Too many people have been trained to use big words and complicated sentences to build an edifice to hide behind. If a simpler word can be used with no loss of meaning, use it." Its the right way for a journal to follow a simpler verbosity... "Reputable pro media outlets use professional fact checkers People may be citing you as a source, so try to get the details right. Related to this: spell-check!" I think extreme care should be taken not to provide falsy infos that will affect ones reputation.Its easy to spread the info very fast.So Beware. Identify your sources. Just asserting a fact is unpersuasive--even in ALL CAPS with lots of exclamation marks!!! --and it contributes nothing to a discussion. Your audience needs to know where this information comes from, so they can judge its credibility. As he said courtesy for the articles must be made as a an etiquette for the blogging ...
