The difficulty in finding objective news coverage, and the suspicion that truly bias-free learning content about current events doesn’t exist, has an alienating effect on the public. One trend, however, that reaches out to readers and invites feedback and discussion is the launching of blogs on online newspapers. When done right, blogs are written with the same journalistic integrity as traditional new items, rather than engaging in casual chatter of little substance. Blogs interactively provide and create current event learning content.

Blogs serve as a space for community conversation, like a town hall large enough to accommodate an unlimited number of people. Despite some criticisms blogging faces, including a tendency to hire rookie journalists for blog-writing, they are an emerging trend in delivering news learning content to the world.
