Blogs build communities
By Andrew Grant-Adamson • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Blogs, JournalismAs I get back into blogging, I am slowly going through my favourites blogs to find out what I have been missing. Kristine Lowe pointed me to a recent and interesting post by Adam Tinworth on why media gets community wrong. He writes:
You either care about your readers, or you don’t. Creating forums, and then making that your only point of community interaction with your readers is roughly like inviting some guests round - and then not letting them out of the guest bedroom. It shows that you’ve heard of the idea of hospitality, but aren’t really all that keen on the idea of, y’know, socialising.
