Students blogging on...: Nationwide, the population of college students posting online diaries or blogs has increased. Blogs are rapidly becoming key sources of information for college students on topics ranging from families to fraternities, politics to parties, trends to taboos and convocation to commencement.
The difference between blog news sites and traditional media outlets is that blogs are posted in real-time without undergoing the traditional editing process. Many blogs are posted anonymously, making author identification difficult if not impossible. Critics of the new online blogging trends say that while blogs provide information, there is no way to verify facts.
