KUALA LUMPUR: Pergerakan Pemuda Umno semalam melancarkan web blog yang akan memberikan ruang kepada pengendali blog, pelayar internet serta media arus perdana memberikan pandangan, kritikan dan berinteraksi dengan pergerakan itu dalam pelbagai isu.

Web blog itu www.sakabangsa.blogspot.com dilancarkan Pengerusi Sekretariat Perhubungan Media Pemuda Umno, Datuk Sazmi Miah.

Beliau berkata, web blog itu akan menyertakan artikel daripada pengendali blog dan media arus perdana serta memasukkan juga pendapat mengenai sesuatu isu yang dibangkitkan supaya semua pihak dapat benar-benar memahami isu berkenaan.

“Selama ini kita tidak pernah membabitkan pengendali blog. Media arus perdana dan pengendali blog perlu dibabitkan sama dan memberikan pendapat kerana mereka dekat dengan rakyat.

“Mereka juga mengetahui masalah atau isu di peringkat rakyat akar umbi kerana sentiasa bertemu pelbagai lapisan masyarakat ketika menjalankan tugas.

“Apa yang ditulis oleh media termasuk pengendali blog juga membentuk persepsi rakyat mengenai sesuatu isu yang ditulis itu,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas melancarkan web blog itu, di Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra (PWTC), di sini.

Beliau juga berkata, semua pandangan dan kritikan yang dibuat oleh pengendali blog dan media akan diambil tindakan dengan memberikan penjelasan.

“Kita berharap ia akan menjadi cara orang muda berinteraksi secara lebih tersusun dan interaktif,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, isu membabitkan Pemuda Umno yang memerlukan tindakan segera akan disampaikannya kepada Ketua Pergerakan itu, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein untuk dijawabnya.

Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) is willing to offer a course in blog writing in an effort to produce more professional and ethical blog writers, its Vice Chancellor Datuk Seri Profesor Ibrahim Abu Shah said.

He said the move would also be in keeping with current developments, where a majority of the society were being drawn to the alternative media.

“Currently, we do have blogging studies in our curriculum and this will be enhanced further by introducing a course on blog writing.

“I feel that the Communication and Media Studies Faculty is ready to conduct the course and I fully support this move (to introduce blog writing course) as it is time for us to help produce bloggers who are not only professionals, but with ethics,” he told a media conference after opening a seminar on Media and the 2008 General Election, here today.

IT HAS been two years since blogger Samantha Yeap has had a good night’s sleep. For this 36-year-old mother of two, it is a case of enforced insomnia.

There are two reasons for this. The first has to do with her one-year-old child who will wake up at all hours in the night to breastfeed. Being a blogger is another.

Why suffer just for the sake of the Web, you may ask. But for Samantha, blogging has offered the solution for this stay-home mum to earn a living and be there for her sons, Gordon, five, and Malcolm, 20 months.

Samantha’s venture into blogging began two years ago when she started Just My Lil’ Organic Life, her blog page, as a form of self-therapy.
