What do you think about EB's Journalism?

I am referring to the new blogs, the articles on the main homepage, newsletters etc. I would like to see if I stand alone in my views. Edited to add http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/parenting/...0n.html?page=-1 This article is what prompted my question. This post has been edited by tinkerbelle*: 02/04/2009, 03:13 PM

Some of the blogs are horrendous. There's one where wrong info is given, the blogger never acknowledges comments or corrects herself and her grammar, sentence construction and spelling are to weep for. Are bloggers paid or is it simply a self promotion gig?

It's most certainly different from the Eb I joined way back in 2002. Most the time I dont read much on the homepage, unless something really catches my eye. So I dont think I can really comment on the articles. I come to EB for one reason, the forums.

I wouldnt call it journalism. None of it interests me in the slightest, I prefer to just go to the "real" member discussions in the forums.

Lets just say I avoid the home page altogether. ETA: just read quoted article. Now I remember why I don't bother. This post has been edited by Meagan: 02/04/2009, 03:20 PM

Honestly, I don't take notice of anything but the forums. I read one blog once, didn't appeal.

The article you linked is cringe-worthy. I hope and pray no man ever comes to EB and reads that. They all seem designed to get people to ark up, instead of providing information.

EB's what? I followed a link to an EB blog from the Age homepage a couple of weeks ago, and literally cringed it was so poorly written. Mind you, the Age doesn't appear to have anyone to subedit their MAIN online content, let alone keep on track of subsidiaries like EB. Spelling/typo central!

I think they're boring, most of the time ill-informed, and designed to try and coax us into discussing particular subjects.
