we can defined blog as a book, as we can read people's lifestyle blog  as a story book? we can also read travel blog as travel guide book? Plus, throughout the blog, we can understand the lifestyle for each person. We know more about a person lifestyle by reading their blog.  Therefore, blog allow the blogger to organize their blog as their like, choose which template as their like to.

"Prosumer = producer + CONSUMER"

There is a word use to describe blogger, which "Prosumer"...
Blogger today is not only a consumer of blog, they are also a producer in their blog. They write a post, edit it and design the web page.  Web blog become more important to the generation now, blog is about creator and generator. Today news is not only taken from News agency, it's about collective of every peoples, produce news is no longer a journalist work. user generated by institution, working in institution, working for get information.

Information getting very far away by using different nodes，information limited to every person. Key features- new media limited colum and space, printing use advertising to subsitde by the advertisement， new media have unlimited space. Another feature here, news must make money, have to be profitable， if not newspaper failed access. Because the company have to pay off to journalist, news writing encourage profit. In fact, all media has to make money, not writing or creating information make money for the news organization. we look information as super highway, we can email now to everywhere.

"blogger VS  Journalist"

For old media a lot of people contributing, lost of control. What to publish have to be clarify.
For New media, information avalanche, too much of information, news reported goes to the blog. contributed put into internet spray. The term "feedback  loop", mean dairy basic, tomorrow no anymore.
We could also consider news content is expensive, the news agency need to hired a proper and professional journalist, which also include higher education and editor, but all this is with higher payment. for such amount, you can only get a limited of information.

Information is everywhere, indeed newspaper is cheap. smart tool save to all the information, there now has become informative and usability. Citizen journalism, citizen can become journalist, by using blogger, they can get news everywhere.

Gate watching, mean every person will go out to look for information to put on facebook,youtube, twitter and so on, they share the information out there. People look out for interesting information,  user must act as the filter, which is good or not, however valuable information can find fresh information. Reporting have the ability have a right the proper article, find a best information, also it would decentralize.

Next, traditional journalist citizen journalism feedback , comment. people distributing, talking to each other. Twitter- how could this become a big things?? 2 feature of how ppl use internet, we tend to inverse, smaller packages, calculate people use a lot of comments. big probelm, URL a real time reporting in a situation , in a real time/ newspaper as a sources as a information/ Twitter become useful when applies in education , more perceptive.

Information is scarce- content, is everything, is valuable, different point come together. A blog is a fashion, choose the best put it up on the blog. importan activity.
