blog power!
Malaysia’s mainstream news seemed biased and unreliable. Malaysian turned to another unreliable news source which is the blogs. Who can blame them? It’s because they have no choice. Rather than hearing or seeing things that the BN-led government wants them to, they rather believe the stories from bloggers.
When people rely more on blogs for information, bloggers should be more responsible and professional in their writings. They should also concentrate on bringing forth the “truth” which the public seeks. They should also avoid stirring anger and chaos among the public. The public must also avoid believing 100% of the news the receive from blogs nor TV. They should learn to digest information and evaluate the news themselves.
Even as we search for freedom of speech in the internet domain, the government still find ways to stop bloggers. Using ISA(Internal Security Act), they can detain bloggers which is considered a threat to the government without questioning. Recent victim, Raja Petra Kamaruddin.
Blogs are hard to control. Thats why they can be free from being controlled by the government. For the time being, I think blogs are still relevant.
here are some popular news blogs:
