The rise and fall of the blog?

So, this isn’t that Seton Hall-related, but instead a very interesting point brought up in a class of mine this week.

It seems that interest in blogging is in decline for most teens and young adults. Now, at 22, I find myself slightly above that characterization. Still, the consistency of blogging has been a major issue right here.

In fact, the line “add blog entry” has been on my desktop Post-It note for the longest time, only behind “Sign up for AAA car service” in PC reminder longevity (that line debuted after an unexpected flat tire, and I’ll likely be sorry if I don’t act on it by my next flat).

Here’s another attempt to resurrect HZR, as we have a semester in full swing that’s going much better. Dr. Esteban is permanent president, the University just today announced it has an AD, and I couldn’t be much happier with the work of WSOU-FM and The Setonian.

So, without further adieu, let’s begin the ultimate test of the rise and fall of blogging – for me. Because even though I’ve contemplated changing blog topics, this really is where my opinions are the strongest on a weekly basis – around the Hall.

About Brian Wisowaty

Brian is a fourth-year senior at Seton Hall University working towards his B.A. in journalism. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of The Setonian, the university's undergraduate student newspaper, and the Station Manager of 89.5 FM WSOU, Seton Hall's award-winning student-run radio station. Brian spent his summer months of 2010 interning for the Daily Record of Morris County, where his work was published in print nearly each week. He interned in the fall of 2010 with NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. He has earned a first place award by the Garden State Journalists Association for his radio broadcast of a Seton Hall basketball game in the fall of 2009. He also has worked on a freelance basis for South Orange Patch.com and has been published in The Catholic Advocate newspaper. Brian began writing at Seton Hall because of his passion for sports, as he had been following Seton Hall men's basketball since he was in high school in Central Jersey. Since, though, he has been at the helm of some of Seton Hall's biggest news stories over the past few years, including the resignation of University President Msgr. Robert Sheeran, the firing of men's basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez, the school's numerous administrative changes and searches and the sudden collapse of basketball player Herb Pope. He lives full-time in Lyndhurst but spends most days around the South Orange campus. *The posts and opinions on this blog do not represent The Setonian, WSOU 89.5 FM or Seton Hall University in any way.* Banner photo credit to Milan Stanic, milanstanic.com
