Bright blogging future

Posted by Ernst-Jan Pfauth on June 4, 2007

The European Union is a beautiful, life-saving, profitable and noble concept. Though it has one weakness – for many Europeans it’s still too abstract. Sure, people know there’s something going on in Brussels. Yet they have no idea how it affects their daily lives. Except for that Euro then, and the constitution that France and Holland rejected. A few examples of their questions:

  • What are the advantages of an united Europe?
  • Why do those diplomats gather in Belgium?
  • What are they doing there?
  • And on top of that, why should I be pride of the European Union?

FlagsIn 50 fifty years from now, the media will be extremely fragmentised. Every consumer has access to hundreds of TV channels and multitasking is the standard. Also, blogs have become mainstream. In 50 years, it no longer is some nerdish medium, each blog then serves as a platform for like-minded people.

Bloggers are a rather diverse community. Within this enormous group, pro-EU writers are for sure represented. The way they’ll write about the EU – personal and convincing – will teach many people about its importance and also, spark a debate.

It already happened to me after reading this post. I started researching and guess what, it even inspired me to apply for this exciting event. Please, allow me to evangelise our bright blogging future in Brussels.
