Last December, I celebrated my tenth year of blogging. I’m usually a sentimental guy, but apparently when it comes to my blog I lost that capacity. At any rate, I got around to reflecting on 10 years of blogging recently. I’ve written more than 1,200 blog posts in that timespan. See where it leads.

It had a name that sounded like a daily newspaper – the “Herald” or “Courier” or something like that – but the “about us” section was telling. I saw this clearly in 2009 when a story I was pitching by email didn’t get traction until I turned it into a corporate blog post.

Bad Pitch Blog

My experience involved one soldier, in 2009 I think. When he was charged for a third bag, he decided to alert a local newspaper. Thereby they will know that while Joe Smith is not a big customer for Delta, Joe posts to three blogs and has a strong Twitter presence. The public reacted as they are now. But not much longer.

I read the newspaper. And I read blogs. I use Feedly to aggregate all the blogs I read. I organize them by categories: MN blogs, advertising blogs, PR blogs, content blogs. And social media blogs. Then, you have a slew of blogs created by agencies and vendors. I read emails.

Other online communication comes second (83.1%), followed by press and media relations with online newspapers and magazines (82.4%).

Back in June of 2009, an engineer posted a seemingly random tweet: That individual might not have had many followers on Twitter, and more than likely only a fraction of them ever saw the tweet. On LinkedIn, what you can view from personal profiles is further limited to long-form blog posts.

If you read an article about an individual or organisation in your favourite magazine or newspaper you’re likely to view it far more favourably than if you heard the information direct. The Daily Telegraph was the first UK national newspaper to go online in November the same year.

I’ve written up examples of dubious practice on my blog along the way. A private telephone call between Labour Health Minister Jon Ashworth and a friend was leaked to a political blog. Homelessness in England fell between 2003 and 2009. It has taken me to some dark places. There aren’t any easy solutions.

Way before newspapers, the Romans and Greeks used scrolls, Egyptians used papyrus, and ancient China used a form of paper to distribute information, even if that information was limited to an inner circle of elites or an educated few in those cases. China is credited with starting the world's first newspaper.
