HW 19: Use blogs to get fast information!

I analyzed the paragraph at the bottom of page 88 of Web of Influence. Although some readers may object that the blogopshere makes it less time consuming for the outside world to acquire information, I would answer that is false. In this paragraph, in short, the author is trying to get to the point that blogs allow us to acquire summaries in a very easy manner. Where if you were watching the news, it may take 15 minutes for them to cover the story you wish to view. Daniel W. Drezner and Henry Farrell say “ The comparative advantage of blogs in political discourse, as compared to traditional media, is their low cost of real-time publication.” In sum, then, traditional media will make more money off of the political world then blogs will. Also when blogs are confronted with an error it can easily be fixed by updating their post or correcting their post. Overall blogs are useful and very helpfully for getting information fast!
