Why the news agencies are among the bloggers???
I thought blogging was the domain of citizen journalists putting their personal thoughts on the net so they can report to the world what the main press is not telling !!!
Now there seems to be a new trend: the big press is infiltrating the domain of the bloggers, and there are big reporters of the big medias blogging also... Some even using aka names...
The other day, I was searching posts on a specific country, expecting to read what citizens of that country were writting on... I was amazed to see the search from Atom brought up several news agencies that have posted news on that country, before I could read posts from private "bloggers". And articles from those news agencies were ranking very high ahead of the sites of the real bloggers.
I think we bloggers should start raising our voices against this practice of blog search engines including news agencies and news reporters among the bloggers. News agencies are not bloggers; they are media people posing as bloggers.
Please you real bloggers out there tell me I am right, and that We bloggers should be really concerned. I hope the blog search engines will take note and are listening
