The in class assignment from today really showed me the wide span of perspectives that are out in the blogosphere.
At this point in my life/budding career as a student journalist, I haven't yet gotten to the point where I feel compelled to constantly blog about my opinions and feelings on many of the "hot topics" and news events.
Maybe I should though.
Maybe it's something that would make a difference, if not in the lives of the billions of people constantly surfing the web and scanning blogs. It might add to my skill set as a student. It might help me keep up on daily news. It might make me an angry Conservative, or I could decide to move up to Nor Cal and just retreat with the hippies (which sometimes sounds like a nice plan).
Overall, I feel a daily pull of responsibility to be accountable for my points of view and be able to back them up with real and intelligent support. If I'm going to do that, I should be a lot more involved and up to date on current media and hot button issues.
