As a blogger (for this class) I feel that I am reporting news. Sure, it is football news, but on this blog I think the readers get very little of my personality. I feel I filter information, as Blood said, and I feel the statements reflect me accuratly.
For this blog I feel I am solely a news reporter who puts his own bits of personality and favouritism into it. I think about Steven Cohen from Fox Football Fone-In who runs the radio/tv show as a journalist, but puts his love of Chelsea on the line every week.
I think it is clear I search for information, but it isn't hard for me to find football news. I love how this blog allows me to keep up with the news as well. I feel I'm learning more about the world of football now than I ever had before. Blogging has benefitted me tremendously. I hope that others had experienced the same as well.
Blogging has also allowed me to communicate with others, I hope that I will be able to expand my network through this class and hope to educate others on football. Perhaps even people may watch the MLS when it picks back up in March when it usually plays matches on ESPN2 on Thursday nights.

I enjoy reading your blogs. I agree with you that blogging allows you to communicate with others and report news.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy visiting ur blog from week to week it is good that you keep us alerted to the world of football. I am into sports as well and its good to see that someone else is as passionate about it as I am.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a world football fan, but I still enjoy reading your blog and learning about the teams, match-ups, stars, etc. Your blog, then, is informative in that sense.
ReplyDeletei think its interesting what you said about blogging keeping you up to date on football news. i always viewed blogging as a way for the writer to teach the reader but i guess when we write we also learn things. great insight!
ReplyDeleteYou guys can call it soccer. I won't kill you. I just choose not to. Thanks for the positive feedback.

ReplyDeleteRight on with everything you've said...I just would like to add that...as everyone does assignment 5 I'm sure we'll all be able to agree...some people shouldn't share and maybe shouldn't express views, news and opinions. someitmes I think that maybe blogging should be just that. It's interesting...I didn't really think of any of us starting out as news bloggers...but I guess that's part of a person's blogging responsibility. To share and what have you.
