Dangers of using the web as a reporter.

     The web has created a whole new world for journalism which brings both pros and cons to how we get our news. One downside to using the web as your medium is effectively reaching your audience.  I wouldn't necessarily call this a danger but I do think it creates a but of delimna for the writer to make sure the reader is interested. The textbook says:
     "Write short, simple sentances.  Reading on computer monitors is more difficult than reading print.  Avoid sentances with long clauses and complex sentances.  Be concise."
    
     I think avid writers are so used to writing with all the extra "fluff" to get their story across that when it comes to cutting it down significantly to fit web readers, it can be difficult.

When writing our latest class blog about the "H" building, my group mates and I found it hard to put everything we wanted into the piece without it dragging on longer than the assigned length requirement. We had to cut down one quote from Prof. Mike Small and there were many quotes and facts that we liked that didn't even make the cut for the post.
