With apologies to cheerleaders and all the athletic prowess it takes to perform those stunts, this post addresses the actual cheering part of the cheerleading profession.
Some situations have recently come forward that have me wondering where bloggers are placing themselves on the news / marketing spectrum.
Back in the spring I addressed this issue with a post called Bloggers Are New But Are They Media. Some of the arguments raised in that discussion can be applied to this post as well.
I should add that I’m not trying to place myself above the crowd in this discussion. I have a good old case of Catholic guilt about some of the cheerleading I’ve done in the past and the self-imposed “obligations” I have felt to offer support for announcements.
