Which Blog Is Best

Now, in case you were unaware, there are many different forms of "news sites" across the internet, each one of which has its own features and elements to it.

The biggest and most noticeable are mainstream news sites, sites such as tsn.ca or nytimes.com. These sites deliver the news in an unbiased and ultimately strictly journalistic style.

Another type is meta-and-comment sites, which is a very predominant type of news site among journalism students. In short these sites reflect the way that the mainstream news is actually producing and presenting the news, and criticizes any stories or reporters who may be adding an element of spin or bias to stories.

Then there are share and discussion sites, which is what I am trying to create with this blog. Essentially, what it means is I will go out and try to find articles or news on a certain topic, and then provide summaries of what is going on in that issue, as well as providing my own personal commentary.

Now, I think this is the best type of blog because of the personal commentary it enables the author to use. While it is still important to not be just entirely one-sided in your writing, so as to exclude key elements of the news, it allows the author to put his input on why he thinks this is happening and the impact it may have, something that mainstream news sites may be unable to do as they must keep their personal objectivity out of it, and are usually restricted to just reporting on the news, not analyzing it in-depth.

These discussion sites allow the interested audience to come to their own conclusions on the news, and to try to gain different angles as to why exactly it may be news. I picked this type of site for following possible NHL relocation, so as to give my opinions as a (self-proclaimed) sports enthusiast, and someone who pays enough attention to sports to possibly see the story in the story. The whole issue of expansion and relocation in the NHL has been very mysterious, with many strange decisions from executives, and has caused mass confusion and, in some instances, unrest among hockey fans.

For that reason I am trying to give you my opinion and provide a little more analysis into what is happening, so as to help you come up with your own conclusions on the issue on potential NHL relocation.

Whether or not it is best, is up to you, the reader.
