Let’s imagine that in year 2010 students who attend either journalism or writing course will learn a new skill, how to blog. And let’s imagine that 9 of 10 every young people, in that same year, will have either a digital camera or mobile phone camera. And let’s hope that a new source of information for the media is not always from professional news reporters, but from some of these prolific bloggers.
