In my opinion, I believe blogs have a rightful place in journalism. They bring forth the personal side of a journalist and sometimes readers can delve slightly into the journalist's personal happenings. As great as blogs can be, however, there does have to be a line drawn in my opinion as to how credible of a source a blog can be. Blogs are no doubt 99% opinionated and it would be difficult for a true unbiased opinion from a blog, even if it is from a respected journalist.
