Blogs a parasitic medium?
It is worth noting that there are too many blogs nowadays - creating an even lower signal-to-noise ratio of breaking news than ever before. I tend to agree with the title of this article, although I disagree with some of the points presented.
Indeed, blogs provide values in news that the mainstream media do not cover, but more often, what I am seeing is that news on blogs are already covered in the mainstream media, just that they are not put on the spotlight. I do hope Newscribe addresses this issue by providing a platform where breaking news stories are more discoverable than ever before.
