DAY THREE – 27th AUGUST 2008

Today we have learnt journalistic research on the Internet.
Journalists use the Internet to find variety of information for news writing purposes and others including expanding their general knowledge.
In searching for facts on the Internet one needs to be specific to what facts and which website is he/she going to use. This will help he/him to get direct to the material required such as healthy, politics, sports and others. Specifications of names such as presidents, capital cities, company names and others makes easier for searching engines to trace the requested information.
We have also learnt how to link blogs with other websites where bloggers can link texts from various sites to their blogs. This helps journalists extract information and use it for their work. We have also learnt how to link one blog to another so that bloggers can communicate each other.
