livebloggers
Event narrators online
Livebloggers are people who post real-time updates to a blog during an event—a political debate, sports match, product launch, or breaking news story.
The format emerged in the early 2000s as an alternative to traditional journalism, offering immediate, often informal commentary: The livebloggers caught details the TV coverage missed.
