I am exploring different ideas that distinguish the difference between a "position" and an "opinion" within the writing spaces and writing tools on the internet. Feel free to offer any suggestions or add a comment to further my thought process. :-)
Topics pulled from Axel Bruns' book, Blogs, Wikipedia, Second Life, and Beyond
1. News Blogs and Citizen Journalism
My issue with news blogs have to do with my preconceived notions of the mechanical delivery by news anchors. Blogs provide so much personal flair, and the delivery via blog may be misinterpreted if (for example) sarcasm is used. To be fair, some people argue that John Stewart's "The Daily Show" does not deliver the real news, but as he has proven, the news is real but with a comical flair. Perhaps I have to change my perception of how the news is delivered. However, with citizen journalism, how does one know if the information is reliable?
2. Media and Creative Industries
My main question with the media and creative industry is: How much money does an artist loose with illegal downloading? And why does other countries allow free downloading, and it is perfectly legal?
3. Social Produsage: Questions of Reputation and Trust
Anyone can create an alternate persona online. With the amount of children exploited via the internet, can we really trust anyone?
