Review on I Know What You Wrote Last Semester Blog

By Mike Kurai Chimhini
I Know What You Wrote Last Semester is one of the few Rhodes journalism student blogs with a personality. The authors of this blog have been consistent to their aim of criticising and scrutinising anything that has got to do with journalism ranging from social, political and economic. This blog has been able to provide readers with a variety of issues which they provided their own opinions to. More so, they have been able to provoke some well known controversial issues with civility which is a thing many other blogs failed to do.
Many readers normally look forward to reading blogs that provide them with relevant topics to their lives. Despite going astray a bit on content, generally this blog can be used as a good example of what readers expect from student journalism blogs. Even though some of the contributors to this blog were not proof reading their posts before publishing them which led to a lot of grammatical errors, most of their posts were coherent to each other even though there were four contributors. Unlike other journalism student blogs, with this blog, readers were provided with a platform to draw their own conclusions to certain issues even though the authors had also given their own points of view on the same issues.
Lastly, I think the creators of this blog could have improved their blog by not only posting the course assigned assignments but by also adding their own posts on views which had nothing to do with the assigned topics.
