Is a blog helpful?

A blog is really a kind of help to learn journalism, you can find yourself in the same position than a reporter, you write an article for people who are going to read it online. Like a journalist, you have to think about how make your article interesting so many people will read it. Moreover, it establish a connection between writting ( what the blogger publish on his blog ), and reading an thinking ( what the reader will say in his comment, he will try to be pertinent ). You can also introduce some news to people without rewriting the original article. Your text may be long or short, it is succesful if the reader will see the source to learn the actual facts, for example, my first entries subject is on nytimes.com .
