A Relationship With Blogs

Throughout the years, people across the world have trusted the New York Times for information on what is going on in the world today. With the coming of the internet, this publication seems to be making a good transition onto the internet as a great online source. The site has links to blogs and is very interwoven in the online literary community of today. As far as a comparison to my blogs, I find that I can obtain much more factual information from the Times, whereas the blogs that I am reading are mostly opinion related. Because of this I feel that my bubble for the Times is much bigger than the one for blogs in my press sphere. In fact, the Times is starting to become my main source for news due to my lack of television in my dorm room. While I may not get much news from my blogs, I do love reading them. I enjoy listening to the opinions of others on subjects that interest me. The basketball blog I read shows a lot about a player’s character and how the writer thinks they should behave. I completely agree with his views on behavior, which is probably why I enjoy reading it so much. I feel that I have a connection with the blogs that I read, much more so than to the New York Times. I share beliefs, ways of thinking, and a love of the same things with the bloggers that I read. That connection is very hard to obtain from a news website; their stories are all about getting the facts out, not what they think about them. Granted they do have opinion pages, but that is not the main reason people flock to a news website. They go for the facts, and can get their opinions elsewhere.
