Original Blog Reporting At Its Very Best

If you want to see the potential of blogging a MUST MUST MUST READ is THIS POST from Mark In Mexico about police breaking up a teachers’ stike in Oaxaca, Mexico.

This is a MUST read for:

• anyone interested in news.

• bloggers who want to see what the full potential of blogging can be — with original photos and reporting that clearly took a lot of time and effort in both the gathering and packaging of it.
• journalism students who want to see a well-written example of blog journalism that we hope will be submitted to any awards open to bloggers.

We had this link on hand for the past week but were unable to get to it due to logistics which put our own personal blogging schedule way behind by nearly a week.

This post is what blogging can be. It’s not just an extended op-ed piece. It’s ORIGINAL information, ORIGINAL reporting, analysis that is more than just attacking and demonizing other blogs or bloggers because they disagree, and photography that clearly shows there was an element of personal risk.

Want a blogging role model? Look at this post. Then look at it again.
