I'm sorry but I don't agree. Newspapers also have an agenda. Primarily to sell newspapers, but they also tend to support the status que wheras blogs don't.
I've had newspaper articles written about me. (I was doing volentary work as a Masseur at the time a few days a week and also I did a couple of charity treks for guide dog association)
They turned me into some kind of Helen Keller act alike. Their was a lot of things that were not actually true. I'm not sure where they got it from because I did tell them what I believed to be the truth but what came out is sort of like a 'superdeafo-blink wondergirl kind of stuff. The person they were writing about didn't exist.
Luckily in my case it wasn't done in a malicious way which isn't the case for some people. They just seemed to assume that People would be more interested in a Helen Keller actalike rather then an ordinary deafblind person with editional problems who was struggling to manage to the best of her ability.
