citizen journalism is so rad...yet random...i l0ve it!

after i was directed to The New Yorker magazine website for class, i found that they have so many blog postings and found myself intrigued in many. one of the blogs i liked is http://lipstick.com/ ;it has all of this random celebrity gossip. Some of the articles were very superficial but it goes to show me that blogs are a great outlet for citizen journalism. people can send in any gossip or info they have and then share their thoughts with anyone that goes onto the blog. the only problem is is that you have to be careful what you believe i suppose, but much of the info is lighthearted and fun that i enjoy on the blogs. Citizen journalism is also a great way to connect. Like other blogs, i am attempting to make one that connects people thru art. I want people to see my random art and photos and *stuff, and then share anything that they have made art or any random design-like on my blog. making a random "house of *stuff" lol........so enjoy and share

Well you took your blog about citizen journalism in a totally different directions than mine... but you bring up good point. I was looking at it just in the perspective of "news". But you bring up some interesting points about how it can be use to connect and find common interests between people.
