Recently, in PRWeek's 10th anniversary issue, readers named PerezHilton.com their "favorite blog." I think it is somewhat pathetic that this is Americans' favorite blogs. Rather than wasting our time reading about celebrity gossip, we should be checking out CNN.com or reading the newspaper online. If our favorite blog is PerezHilton.com, I think this reflects that the American public is uninformed and uniterested in actual news.
However, I admit that I am a frequenter of PerezHilton.com. It is the only blog that I read on a daily basis. Although PerezHilton.com is know for posting celebrity gossip, in the past several months, he has also begun to promote charities and post about national and global news. Nonetheless, I realize that my time would be better spent in other ways.
This class blog provides a forum for PR students to practice their blog writing and learn more about social media in PR practice.

I agree Katie, although I also visit PerezHilton when I find myself bored surfing online, it is not the only blog I visit. I feel that Americans should step out of their comfort zones and visit other blogs and become exposed to other opinions in topics that matter, not just the lives of celebrities.
