Blog vs. Magazine

YO I WAS SURFING THE NET AND CAME ACROSS AN INTERESTING ARTICLE. PROS AND CONS BETWEEN THE BLOG AND THE MAGAZINE GAME.

SINCE WE OVER HERE AT 21-7 ARE GETTING INTO THE MAGAZINE GAME, I THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING.

TELL ME WAT YA'LL (LOL THIS COUNTRY TALK IS SO SILLY) THINK

JUMP TO SEE THE ARGUMENT




Portability
It’s kinda hard to read blogs on the can, unless you want to risk dropping your iPhone into the john.

Winner: Magazines

Affordability
Free = the price is right. Although when you add up the cost of your laptop and internet connection, it’s a tough call.

Winner: Blogs

Photography
Google image search stays losing.

Winner: Magazines

Audio
A free CD tacked to the front is always nice, but it doesn’t exactly compare to being able to download the latest Blaq Poet banger.

Winner: Blogs

Reviews
Nobody wants to read your 2,000 word break-down of the latest Roots opus. Not even ?uestlove.

Winner: Magazines

Interviews
Another close call - good editing is an underrated skill. But few print publications are able to allow major interviews the space they sometimes deserve.

Winner: Blogs

Feedback
Letters to the editor seem to be a thing of the past, while the comments section of blogs can often provide more entertainment than the main piece. Calls of ‘First’ withstanding.
