This has to start somewhere...

These are some of my wandering thoughts at the moment:

Blogs & Journalism – Democratic public sphere
- How does one affect the other?
- What are the conflicts?
- How does blog contribute to journalism?
- Constrains and potentials?


  • New media theory – Online Journalism. Discuss the power structure of new-media environment with focus on blog.

  • “Convergence Culture maps a new territory: where old and new media intersect, where grassroots and corporate media collide, where the power of the media producer and the power of the consumer interact in unpredictable ways.”

  • What are the new patterns of online-media consumption and production?

  • Habemas and related on public sphere. How can blog be considered an answer to the assumed lack of public sphere and strengthen democracy? What are the obstacles?

  • Blog publishing – A re-mediation? Some form of blogs can be seen as a remix that recycles and reproduce thoughts, culture, politics and media

  • Blogs as a participation medium? Participatory Journalism?

  • Credibility? How does blogging affect media credibility?

  • Blog vs. traditional media:
    Publish then filter vs. Filter then publish?
