Frustrated Bloggers

While WMDT, 47 News has created a fantastic opportunity for local Bloggers to express their opinion by promoting them on their very own Website, (not forgetting the commercials they're airing on television) some Bloggers are upset with the end result.

Bill Duvall clearly became upset because Salisbury News was the first to get on board. Respectfully, WMDT removed Bill from participating for good. Then there's the Anti Albero Bloggers who desperately wanted to be included but were denied because of their one and only intent and content, ME.

The idea, (IMO) is to create another opportunity to share with the Internet Community news WMDT might not be able to produce for numerous reasons. Should someone call them and ask why they didn't touch on a particular topic, WMDT can easily explain that it was available on their Blog Link, similar to The Daily Times.

However, the content should be about news and information. The Blogs can deliver instant notices and if they're anything like Salisbury News, they'll produce it all day long.

Then there's the comment portion. Citizens can participate how they feel about each topic, which can't be done on television. Sure, they can interview people but the people watching can't express their own opinion like they can on the Blogs and people can also do so anonymously, should they fear the retaliation of let's say, Barrie Tilghman.

This Blogger isn't at all frustrated because I personally believe this is a great way to gain more exposure and considering each day, every day, we're reaching record days and I want to personally thank WMDT for the opportunity. The Pocomoke Tattler did just that HERE.

Don't forget to pop onto WMDT's BLOG Link and show your support to an organization that is open minded and willing to take the risks. You know the Mayor and others are ticked off at them and quite frankly I've even seen myself that they haven't been invited to certain events or been given the heads up. Welcome to the Dark Side WMDT!
