End of the Interim

I enjoyed writing this blog. It was refreshing to try something other than the inverted-pyramid formula and still be able to report news. Not many people are going to read my blog, but it is possible for anyone on the Internet to read it, something that was in the back of my mind while writing.

I plan on continuing this blog. I hope to change up the formula, because as it is, my blog is really boring to anyone that does not follow baseball. I am not breaking the story because hopefully my blog is not the first place people go for baseball news, so I would like to add some more opinion and make the blog more engaging. Making it a supplement to the actual news could be interesting.

Blogging is a just another medium and its ability to tell stories depends on the author. Blogs like TMZ and Perez Hilton officially report news, but do they really tell stories? No, and because of simple celebrity blogs like these, filled with pictured and videos, less is expected in the writing quality of blogs.

I liked being able to choose my own beat, because I may have struggled otherwise. We probably had enough time to write a few more blog posts. I know the class is less than a month in length, but I think more blog posts would give us even more incentive to continue our blogs. It is hard to become attached to a blog after only six posts. My passion for baseball is the main thing that will make me stick with the blog.
