10. News blog is absolutely important blog because quite significant category of blog and sort of contribution blogs which going to make to journalism.
This classification is made by Margaret Simsons. She is a writer and media analyst. According to Media report (2008) she makes types of blog and gives the name of blog by herself. Her taxonomy of blogs first appeared in an article for creative economy online and will find a link on the website. For my opinion Margaret classification is very rational and commonsense beside that the types of blogs are really potentially important contributions to journalism. Because there are a lot difficulties to classify in identification a blog style.
