In today's network-driven information field, print news appears to be a faded name in the game. It is undeniable that the emergence of blogs has shaken the foundations of traditional media by introducing new sources of information. It challenges broadcasts through podcasts; TVs with video logs [video logs]; of course, newspapers have their blogs [web logs]. The Internet has indeed attracted a whole new set of media, so there is new content between blogs and old content.
Convincing credibility
As technology advances faster, thousands of enthusiasts register for their accounts every day, and for many, credibility has become the hottest issue on blogs. Since the Internet gives everyone the opportunity to create their own blogs, most of the information posted on blogs on Blogger and WordPress sites is unconfirmed and therefore unreliable.
Typical personal blogs are maintained by individuals [and therefore individuals], and articles are mostly done with one hand - from drafting, collecting information, to editing and online publishing. The blogger is also a writer, editor, copywriter and publisher. However, the power of blogs to publish at unimaginable speeds is surprising, but it unconsciously undermines the credibility of each article.
On the other hand, newspapers are managed by a group of professional and experienced writers. A series of rigorously edited articles are usually performed before publication - information and details are double checked to ensure accuracy; sources should be valid and reliable; grammatical flaws are fixed and all statements are balanced. These are standard procedures that are used by almost all newspaper companies to raise legal and fair questions.
Unknown danger
From a legal point of view, blogs do not have any constitutional protection and rights, because it is difficult to determine how the law actually applies. On the other hand, the status of the print media in the Constitution is very favorable.
A blog maid may hide behind the screen name and blame him for corruption without fear of facing legal charges. Since the Constitution does not stipulate blogs, there are no specific regulations that can prove that it is illegal. Therefore, blogs have all the freedom of speech in the world, and with their own will and ability, they can abuse, overuse and abuse it at any time, while writers are sued and even killed because of what they write, #39; Do your own work.

The past of print media and the future of blogs
Books show us again and again how the newspaper left its mark in history.
For example, during Spanish rule, La Solidaridad and Kalayaan publications owned and managed by Philippine propagators successfully spread their ongoing requirements for change and further separated among Filipinos because they were subject to authoritarian Spanish perpetrators. condemn.
Similarly, the dictator Ferdinand Marcos faced the powerful function of the media in inciting mass rebellion, so he ordered the immediate closure of all mass media in accordance with the martial law. However, alternative media, including Filipino college students and other national daily newspapers, fulfilled their commitments and did not disappoint the masses; they have gone underground and operated invisibly to avoid critics.
It is in this sobriety that we see a clear future for the blogosphere. Its power is unquestionable, but blogs should always be used as personal tools because it is not possible to have news elements such as accountability, reliability and fairness.
Indeed, the growing popularity of blogs will never completely break the strong fort that the journalism has built for decades. The permanent assertion of its moral decadence continues to claim that the old media has proven its ancient value. All in all, it will find a way to maintain its cause. In the course of history, the media - traditional print news - has always proved that its existence is reasonable, and no blog power can seriously change this.
