Journalists and Political Views
Morton, John. "Staying neutral: journalists should not reveal their political views, Twitter or no Twitter." American Journalism Review 31.5 (2009): 60. Academic OneFile. Web. 15 Mar. 2010.
In this article the author talks about the issue on whether or not reporters should have to be unbiased on their blogs pertaining to news events. The Washington Post issued a set of rules on how its reporters should behave on sites after one of its writers wrote something that was perceived to be too “preachy” on his blog. However the author argues that reporters should be allowed to post what they want on their blogs. He believes that in a generation where newspapers are becoming a thing of the past, we should promote these blogs. These blogs will engage readers in discussion. This article was unique due to how controversial it was. Again this blog will benefit my thesis by showing the usefulness of blogs and will also allow me to show some arguments against the use of blogs.

Social Networking in Local Government
Antil, Pamela Weaver. "Join the movement: how to embrace social networking in local government." Public Management 91.9 (2009): 14+. Academic OneFile. Web. 15 Mar. 2010.
In this article the author stresses the point of how important it is to network by using blogs and social networking sites to help further your career. In order to not be referred to as a dinosaur by your fellow co-workers then it is important to stay up to date with social networking. The author makes the point that carbon paper has evolved into copier machines, from typewriters to computers, from receiving letters to now receiving emails, and now the use of blogs and facebook. It is also important to keep in mind that if you are going to use a blog for the purpose of your business it should not be used to vent about meetings, and colleagues. People have been fired in the past for posting rants on their blogs. This source was unique in the fact that it offered so much advice on why people should use social networking for the purpose of their career. It again ties into my thesis by showing how blogs are valuable in more ways than one.

Library Blogs
Bardyn, Tania P. "Library blogs: what's most important success within the enterprise?" Computers in Libraries 29.6 (2009): 12+. Academic OneFile. Web. 15 Mar. 2010.
In this article it is the authors purpose to show people why library blogs are important and what factors it takes to make sure these blogs are useful. For library blogs to be useful there are two givens (Adequate blog software and creative librarians to run these blogs). Library blogs offer advantages such as reducing costs in printing and reduction in of email spam. I think this source is unique because it talks about library blogs, a resource tool that isn’t very well know to students. This will be a valuable source for my thesis because it shows how versatile blogs can be.

Blogging for Fun
Allen, Jeffrey. "Blogging for fun:." Experience Wntr 2008: 37+. Academic OneFile. Web. 12 Mar. 2010.
The author in this article describes essentially what a blog is and how to get your own started. While much of this information is considered to be common knowledge in today’s standards he makes several interesting points on why blogs are a helpful tool to some. Many people start blogs for the purpose of sharing their thoughts on a hobby they enjoy, politics, religion, etc. But in this article Jeffery Allen points out that blogs also can be used for business owners to potentially recruit new clients. If you maintain a blog about a law firm and you post different thoughts you have on certain cases or just the practice of law in general, a person looking at your blog might like what you say and want to have you represent them. This could apply for any type of business.

Educational Blogging as a research tool
Ghosh, M. (2004, August 18). Educational blogging as a research tool. Retrieved from C:\Documents and Settings\s501844\Desktop\Classes\SPRING 2010\Comp 112\Educational blogging as a research tool « Weblog Tools Collection.mht
In this article the author argues about educational blogging as a research tool. The author states that blogging is a great venue to chat with others about certain issues or problems but in a more public manner. It is recommended that classes now have “class blogs” that enable the students to get on and discuss assignments and post resources valuable to the entire class. Not only does this benefit the students in the class currently but it also can be made available to future students who take that course. Even separate courses can benefit from this as well. Say you are working on a lab for a polymer science course and the same material is being covered in a architectural engineering class, these two classes could look at each others’ notes and both benefit from each other.

Senior Citzen Bloggers Defy Stereotypes
Johnson, Carla K. "Senior Citizen Bloggers Defy Stereotypes; Increasing numbers of blogs are being created by older people, who say their hobby keeps them up on current events, lets them befriend strangers around the globe, and gives them a voice in a society often deaf to the wisdom of the elderly." InformationWeek (2005). Academic OneFile. Web. 8 Mar. 2010.
In this article the author focused on how there is an increasing number of senior citizens now partaking in the world of blogging. Many of the elderly that are maintaining blogs love having their thoughts and opinions heard at an age where their thoughts aren’t as respected as they once were. The increasing number of senior citizens that are maintaining blogs is defying the stereotype that blogging is a hobby for people in their twenties. It also breaks away from the stereotype that the elderly don’t even use computers. Statistics show that three percent of senior citizens that use the internet now have blogs. This number may not sound like a lot but in comparison only thirteen percent of 18-29 year olds have blogs.
