Before I sign off, I would like to say that it has been a very enlightening experience and I would do it again for other events in the future, that is if I am not working.
Live blogging redefines what the traditional media call "news bulletin". In the right hand, live blogging can be a very powerful tool for news organisations to "fire" awaybullets of information in rapid succession.
One of the characteristics of live blogging is that it frees the live bloggers from having to present the information in the from of news items, allowing him or her to provide minute-by-minute updates of a running story. Through live blogging, news and information can be presented in their raw and unofficial forms -- a reflection of how the stories are developing throughout the day.
Elections results, for instance, can be presented in tandem with the vote counting process without having to wait for the official announcement.
Having to wait for "official" results and only report when there is an official announcement is a very traditional way of presenting information.
Some online news portals like the NST Online and Malaysiakini are already using live blogging during special events like in the recent by-elections and in the Umno elections.
And they are very successful at it that even reporters of some news organisations are logging into these live blogging platform to find out the latest updates. Which is an irony because they should have been able to get the latest updates from their own websites or portals.
Enough said. One more thing, I've promised to live blog until everything has been accounted for -- ministers and their posts announced -- but I no longer think that is possible because I'll be working at the time when the cabinet lineup is scheduled to be announced at 3pm today. I was able to live blog yesterday because I was off ;-)
Thank you for the support and for watching me blogging live. See you in other events.by JS at 4/8/2009 11:44:35 PM - live blogging to resume briefly.. 28 ministers to be appointed, says pmby JS at 4/9/2009 7:01:48 AM
