CASAS PEREZ, María de la Luz. Online journalism and development of blogs as an alternative of information technology expression. anagramas rumbos sentidos comun. [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.16, pp.117-128. ISSN 1692-2522.

The term ''blog'' comes from the words Web and Log and it has recently become a tool to retell parallel stories, since they allow their audience to visualize different interpretations of the same event. Although blogs were personal in origin, lately online media journalists are using blogs as an additional information source, as well as an interaction resource for readers. For media, blogs give useful feedback for the journalistic agenda also promoting new subjects to be discussed. This article offers a review on blogs as an alternative source of information for journalistic media, while analyzing the behavior of blogs from well-known journals and web sites. Its results show some of the most claimed contents communicated by these media.

Keywords : blogs; online journalism.
