In tutorial presentation, I choose the reading is “Warblogging as Critical Social Practice”. This reading has including the four aspects: ‘Defining the Weblog’, ‘Weblog Developments’, ‘Warblogging and Journalism’ and ‘Weblogging and New Media Theory”. It has been about the potential for alternative and democratic forms of communication on the Internet. In contrast to traditional mass media inherently biased towards open, egalitarian expression.
This article investigates how warblogging, a particular way of using weblogs to cover international current affairs, has emerged as a ‘popular alternative, but in such a way that it is contingent upon broader cultural and political trends and the influence of mainstream journalism.
Finish in my presentation, I will ask the short question to our classmates for discussion. The question is related to blogging and warblogging in particular build credible oppositional voices to mainstream news media.

This tutorial presentation is deepens for us to understand about the similarity concept of weblog, warblog and news media. I’m agree with Lasica said blogging is the beginning of a new form of journalism. In addition, weblogging will drive a powerful new form of proletarian journalism as millions of Net users, young people specially, take on the role of columnist, reporter, analyst and publisher while fashioning their own personal broadcasting networks. Moreover, warblogging is too the role of reporter as their own personal broadcasting networks.
On the other hand, blogging is a new form of news, but it does not relocate traditional news sources by creating an altogether separate to them. Therefore, there is little foundation for the view among some that blogging will supersede professional news. In this tutorial, we had to share about related to blogging and warblogging in particular build credible oppositional voices to mainstream news media. As the result, more classmates were think news media in particular build credible.
I agree with you that blogging is the beginning of a new form of journalism. It provides opportunities for individuals to express their ideas. Moreover, individuals can take on the roles of reporter. It can offer us an oppositional voice to mainstream media. In this sense, everyone can become a reporter. There is question about credibility. Different people might have different purpose, interpretation towards one thing. So, how do we judge which one is more credible? In fact, it doesn’t mean that media cooperation without this kind of question. However, I don't think that blogging will supersede professional news. Maybe we can say that blogging was alternative news media open to us.
