Introduction

This is the first time ever in my life to start a blog. As the technology keep improving, I found out that blog has play an important role in the society of every country.


  • Purpose of the Blog

This blog is created to provide in-depth discussion and review on Blog itself. It is to show how the blog itself has brought benefits to the society of the world, its current phenomenon and it classification of blogs. I will also review on the new form of media publishing and print design against web design in media world today.

  • Audience

First of all, communication students would be my primary audience as Issue in Publication and Design a part of their subject. Therefore they had to know at least a bit of the blog itself and it also targeted to the professional out there.

  • Additional information

Recently the election in the State, Barack Obama had won the election. One of the reasons he
won the election
was using the new medium “Internet”,


"Mr.Obama’s campaign took advantage of YouTube for free advertising. Mr. Trippi argued that those videos were more effective than television ads because viewers chose to watch them or received them from a friend instead of having their television shows interrupted.”

(New York Times, 2008)





The reason why I choose the blog as a platform for the discussion, it is because the internet,
or the World Wide Web offers a ‘complex interplay of written text, images and other graphic or sound elements …’ (Kress & van Leeuwen 2006, p.17).
