Weekly Post

Do bloggers belong in the locker room? That is the question I was given for this weeks post. (www.mcom63.wordpress.com) At first before I even read the article given, I thought, no way! There are a couple ways I look at it. Bloggers can be seen as either fans or average people that just want to share their opinion. The other way bloggers can be seen is a journalists. The average blogger is just an average joe wanting to talk about what they think. So I don't believe bloggers should be let into the locker room. If they are professional journalists that blog on the side, then yes, they should be able to be in the locker room or be on the field. After reading the article, I still feel that bloggers should be left out and watch from the view of an outsider. This view is also the view that will get them popular, if they do so. People like to read about what they see as well and be able to relate with the blogger. Having bloggers in with the media in sports I believe will be like fans and misc. people being in with the players and that will distract the team. As it said in the article, they might as well let fans, kids, tours, etc. in with the media. If bloggers were let in it would make it more difficult to hold people from being let in. Everyone might see themselves as bloggers after they write one entry and there would be more tension. Overall, I believe bloggers should stay out of the locke room and give their perspective from the outside, and grab the attention of their readers with the ability to relate with them.
