But I must point out that its blog does not deal purely with news reports that we can just as easily see in the local newspapers. The articles in the PCIJ blog, as it looks, are written by journalists as "side journals" that accompany their official pieces. In a sense, these people are describing their personal impressions and their experiences as opposed to reporting the news from an entirely neutral point of view - and for me, that makes it more of a weblog than an online newspaper. <BR/><BR/>With regards to the anti-hero/villain argument, I am aware of a debate in the comics field that asks how far an anti-hero can go before being rightfully considered a villain. Can he kill a man who is suspected but not convicted of murder, for instance? Can he enforce oppressive rule upon a society in order to eradicate crime? Questions like these serve to show that the line between anti-hero and villain is just as blurred as the line between blogs and non-blogs, I think.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300224368246428017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307761.post-1122268377226197962005-07-25T13:12:00.000+08:002005-07-25T13:12:00.000+08:00"As much as the advocates may say otherwise, I fig..."As much as the advocates may say otherwise, I figure that blogging is not journalism. "<BR/><BR/>--> PCIJ has a blog. <BR/><BR/>"Bloggers write to express their opinions, which will always lean in one direction or another. Blogs, by their very nature, are biased." <BR/><BR/>--> Ehem. Cough. Cough. :)<BR/><BR/>"Comics creators themselves should be perfectly familiar with the age-old question of what separates an anti-hero from a villain."<BR/><BR/>--> Anti-hero is both protagonist and antagonist in one.
