- Blogs as a source of data A seductive source of qualitative data is blogs. This section examines the advantages and drawbacks of using blogs as a source of research data. Benefits Codified data accessibility and convenience The synchronous, time-consuming mode of gathering is one of the main issues with qualitative data collection. Typically, focus groups, observation, and interviews are used to gather qualitative data. The interviewer and the subject(s) must both be available for these strategies to work. Additionally, in order to capture all of the cues that are offered when data is being collected, the interviewer must maintain a high level of awareness and focus throughout the process. This places extra restrictions on the process of gathering qualitative data. Blogs, which are easily accessible in print form, provide rapid access to rich, codified data in a useful bundle that is already prepared for analysis. Blogs are more convenient and demand less time and resources because they do not require synchronisation between the researcher and the subject. Another source of convenience is the blog's content, which is frequently categorised by the author according to their choice of subject, attitude, or motivation. This makes it possible to access the most important information more quickly and easily. Written by Name Style
- The Need for Reflection Bloggers also blog because they are curious about themselves; by examining their own beliefs, perspectives, and responses, they gain a better understanding of who they are. Turgeon (2004) referred to this need as "getting to know yourself" and "deepening our awareness of human nature," and Graham generally used the phrase "explore and experiment" (2002). Information and skill development required Table 2 illustrates the abundance of blogs describing hobbies and areas of interest. These blogs draw people to the blogosphere with shared interests, where they share and gather knowledge about these topics (Turgeon 2004). These blogs give bloggers the chance to focus on their areas of interest and increase their expertise in those fields. A "underground" culture of information sharing is also made possible through blogs. Many people have doubts about the veracity or objectivity of the information made publicly available through official channels, from news and events to medical treatments. Then, bloggers work to present current events in a less biassed manner: "Even though their remarks spark debate and scepticism, they've [bloggers] given depth to the way the linked issues are debated and reported, especially by the traditional mass-market media" (Rosenbloom 2004, 32). They were correcting the media's distortions, according to Pedersen and Macafee (2007, 1484) Written by Name Style
