Blogosphere as an element of the modern media field as an element of the modern media field

A blog is a network journal with short entries: a link to a place on the network containing a subjective commentary
People are essentially individualists and are focused on defining and observing their personal space. Therefore, the ability to create your own self-space on the Internet allows the free creation of various images, saving them in incognito mode.

The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that the last decades are marked by an unprecedented growth in the number of blogs in the global network. Thus, we have to reckon with blogs, as with a significant source of information, which is a competitive base for traditional journalism.

According to a survey of journalists from 15 countries, conducted by Oriella PR Network, in 2017 half of the respondents, which is 20% more than in 2016, claimed that traditional channels of journalistic communication can leave the media market in the foreseeable future. The most radical assessments were proposed by Swedish journalists, 30% of whom claimed that they had already mastered the format of blog journalism, finally said goodbye to the traditional formats of radio, television and the press.

Today, when the terminological framework for defining the concept of "blog" is blurred, it becomes more difficult to answer the question what is not a blog in the modern Internet environment. In master's work I try to consider and find a solution to these problems
