There is nothing personal about journalism. That deals with stating hard facts and speculating on the future based on past facts and present scenario. Nowhere do you see a “Personally, I think that’s wrong”, because personal opinion is not allowed in journalism which is supposed to remain unbiased and neutral. We read newspapers every, and I’ve made my case rather clearly in the past.

The safest bet would be to maintain a blog which has a wide scope of topics and content, but ofcourse, if you can pull of a narrowed down blog, you’ll get readers there as well! Techcrunch is the perfect example! :)

You just have to be enterprising enough! :P

I'm the FIRST to comment! Well, I currently run two blogs, a personal blog and a music review blog. I started the Music blog, http://lovethemusic.wordpress.com because I wanted to blog about something I love, and I wanted people to read it and participate, because--really, who doesn't lovethemusic? My personal blog has no readers really, and thats okay with me, because I blog for me. If people decided to read it, that would be okay, but how interesting is my life to someone else? Who knows? In the past I have started blog projects and never finished them, because I realized there was no audience for them. There needs to be an audience, really--otherwise why would you publish publicly? Good post, Adi.</p> Ooo! I’m the FIRST to comment! Well, I currently run two blogs, a personal blog and a music review blog.
