why are blogs important?

This is the statement on the global voices website---Global Voices seeks to aggregate, curate, and amplify the global conversation online - shining light on places and people other media often ignore. We work to develop tools, institutions and relationships that will help all voices, everywhere, to be heard.


In your own word, what do you think this means.  You might have to look up some of the words.

  14. This means that Global Voices is an organization that tries to make people become more involved in conversations over the internet or news and share news that is often neglected even though very important for everyone around the world to know. It is also an easier way to spread information for those who can't.
