From the top…

Welcome!

Firstly, let me extend a big hello to all in ‘blogland‘. My name is Samantha and I’m a final year Journalism student in Dublin City University.

As part of my course, I am required to create a blog which examines the recent phenomena of online journalism.

For the next twelve weeks it is my task to examine this rather controversial area of journalism. This will cover such areas as the relentless battle between bloggers and traditional journalists, the issue of hyperlinking and its place in modern journalism, and many more.

As an amateur blogger myself, my overall wish is to create an equally informative and intersting body of work. Here’s hoping!
