Belinda Olsson, columnist at Aftonbladet, writes today about blogs and delivers the quote of the day:
“Jag läser bloggar då och då, det är inte det. Jag förstår grejen med att om man älskar en skribent är det kul att få lite extra dvd-aktigt material. Jag skulle själv gärna läsa lite blogg (dagbok) av Carolina Gynning. Men revolution? Nu kan vem som helst bli journalist? Jag kan inte rabbla upp en enda icke-journalist som har en blogg.”
“Revolution? Now anyone can become a journalist? I can’t name one single non-journalist with a blog.” How ignorant can you get? She has been given a platform to communicate to hundreds of thousands of readers and just because she can’t name a blogger that isn’t a journalist, blogs don’t matter. I can’t name a single French philosopher, but that doesn’t mean no-one reads them. But then again, who cares what I think? I’m just a non-journalist blogger.
Media Culpa is a blog about media and public relations – with a focus on social media – written by Swedish PR practitioner Hans Kullin. The views in this blog are my own.
