.: Reflections :.

Upon completing this weblog, a lot of research need to be done and thoeretical readings are adopted to support my analysis of media and publishing issues. Therefore, I learnt that moral and ethics should engaged while blogging. Lannon (2006, p. 468) opines that credibility and accuracy of information in a useful website is essential, therefore i make sure that all quotes, information, pictures from other sources are properly cited to avoid issues like copyright infrindgement and defamation.

According to Schriver (1997), text and images complement each other to convey effective message to the audience, therefore, the combination of images and words are added into my blog to enhance the engagement and understanding of an audience. Walsh (2006, p. 30-31) also opines that multimodality of a document helps strengthen the message intended to be conveyed across to the audience. Hence, there are multimodal modes in my blog. For instance, there are hyperlinks linking my blog to other sites.

All blogger should bear in mind to be sensitive to cultures and blog responsibly.
