I think that it is apart of the American dream to be able to convey the news how you would like because I feel that it is apart of freedom of speech. I think that being able to get the news out there how you want it ensures that you will be heard. Sometimes people may feel that the news is wrong and their opinions of the news at hand is correct, therefore they make a blog or a you tube video to get their point across to the public.
On the other hand, blogging and putting videos up on you tube ruins the value of true journalist who go out into the world to ensure that they are giving you correct information. I feel that being able to blog and post videos on the internet makes everyone feel equal. But I feel that it is really hurting the journalism world because people aren’t really reading or buying certain magazines or newspapers that they used to because they can get the same story off of you tube or they can even make up a story of their own to post.
I am straddling the fence on this idea because, although I feel that it is apart of the American dream to have the opportunity to be heard and I think that blogging and you tube is a great way to be heard, it devalues and discourages those who really have a passion for journalism.
