news blog

Digital current events

A news blog is a website or section of a website that reports on current events in a blog format—typically with frequent posts displayed in reverse chronological order.

News blogs range from professional outlets with dedicated staff to individual commentators covering niche topics: I get most of my tech news from a few news blogs I trust.

The format emphasizes speed and immediacy over traditional journalism's editorial process.
