If a Blog Reports Facts, Is it Gossip?

As many of you know, I use this blog to promote local happening in my community. One of the biggest things I recently promoted was the removal of Ralpf Jacobs as the principal of Locklan Elementary School. While my ultimate goal was his complete firing, I was satisfied when the board did remove him as the principal. I was also very happy to learn that a few friends in the local area were looking for information on this issue and Googled it. I learned that my blog was on the first page when they were looking for information, so I honestly believe that I helped get information out to the public so that they could also express their outrage with the entire situation.

I have recently learned that there is a new series starting called Gossip Girl on The CW. This show follows the lives of several young people in New York's Upper East Side. All while they try to live their lives, there is a blog run by "Gossip Girl", and she stirs the pot informing the world what is going on in the local scene and affects the lives of the main characters. I must say that these teen dramas have not appealed to me for a long time, but the premise of this one is interesting. I may give it a shot.
