A blog can be very helpful in the learning process of this class. Learning about online journalism is very important because this day in age, media and online are used more than print. By posted entries and discussing other authors' works, it will help us understand what kind of topics we should write about and how we should write it. A great benifit of using a blog for part of our learning is that we get experience with online writing and people can even look at our blogs and comment on them. A drawback to using a blog could be that a person may comment on something that you wrote that you thought you did a good job on but they think the total opposite. All in all, writing a blog is such a good way to get your ideas out there and really helps with learning about the journalism of today.
Blogs can also be very helpful with learning in general. I recently learned that you can even search for different kinds of topics that blogs are about. Being able to do this will allow a person to learn about anything. If someone was interested in reading someone's thoughts about the election it would only take a two second search to find an infinite amount of blogs.

Merissa: I agree that blogging can be an important part of the learning process (of course I do, I assigned you to do it!! :) Anyway, I think you might be interested in what others say about the reading and news reporting aspects of blogs. Read some journalism blogs. The easiest way to do this is to do a Google blog search and check some out. When you find one you like, read it regularly and then look to read what blogs that blog writer is reading. Try that.
Good luck and keep reading.
