This was just passing thought in my mind, after being bombarded with New Media from all sides.We always question authenticity of bloggers and their opinion.Occassionally , we choose to believe a argument because it suits our ideology and convenience.But still the fact remains that the credibility and trustworthiness of blogs is a debatable topic.
I was just thinking as a research student doing some rigorous research.All of us come across some information related to our research in the form of blogs. The point is , how many of us actually use it and include it in our work ? How many times would we click away from the page thinking that its just a random blog by a random person and might not be credible.
Think about it !

Hi Gunjan
ReplyDeleteI feel one cannot let go of blogs without a glance at them. If the blogs belong to some authority in the field then they are worth reading. I think the key is reading the blogs critically.
All you need is time to sift through the mountain of information. Do we have that?????
Yes , we can not let go of blogs. And no doubt they serve us with a mountain of information. But when we write a essay or a coursework , would you use a blog as a referrence saying taken from xyx blog..???
ReplyDeleteGunjan, all the blogs may not be credible, but its you to decide weather it is worth reading or not, or it is credible or not. Untill and unless it is ok with you its credibility is high , otherwise low, isn't it as simple as that?
