"Find Your Voice: Writing for a Webzine"

Reading the article, Find Your Voice: Writing for a Webzine, poses the question: What is a public voice?

Pulic voice is the synthesis that lies halfway between two extremes: a private voice and a commercial voice.

A private voice makes no concession to others: the only priority is honest expression, regardless of whether anyone will comprehend or identify with your words.

A commercial voice wants only to produce a predetermined effect in the audience: study the audience and then tell them what they want to hear.

Therefore, what is a public voice? After reading and analyzing the article, I came to the conclusion that "your" voice is something that you are passionate about that strikes the interest of others through your expression of voice in writing.

While browsing a hot blog spot Wordpress, I came across the blog, Caught in the Web, by Eliza Cracknell. The blog explores Social Media & Networking. I find her voice intriguing in how she digs into how media is rapidly changing. She analyzes Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and the vast array of media outlets that are utilized daily, hourly and even by the minute not just for social pleasure, but retrieving facts, information and news. A specific blog,astates how a woman's magazine utilizes Twitter to update their readers in a matter of seconds regarding upcoming issues, sales and promotions.

I really enjoy Eliza's writing style in how she incorporates wit with fact, charm with news and an overall funky personality to her blog that doesn't bore the reader, but rather encourages them to read on.
