Blog-girls Discussing:
Editor’s note: Student Anna Barseghyan of the Department of Journalism of Yerevan State University (YSU) together with her friends and active bloggers Shushan Harutyunyan and Lusine Paravyan from the same department recently have discussed the following question at CJTeam request: does blogging help or impede the journalist in his/her professional activity? Studying at the same building, today the girls “meet” in virtual world more frequently due to the internet. For this reason Anna organized the discussion in her personal blog.
Today blogs stand as alternative means for the media and bloggers –for journalists. The reasons are various: today there are more interesting and exclusive materials in the blogs than in the traditional media. Very often the most significant events appear in the blogs. The author is free expressing his/her opinion; there is no censorship, etc. And it is not without reason that some blogs have more readers than many traditional and internet newspapers of Armenia.
