|b The current study theoretically endeavors to sketch out the future of journalism within the emerging frames of the new of the new media. Based on this, the researcher has already developed the following core questions: \ How can communication researchers forecast the justifiable future of journalism apart from its abstract concept? \ Can scholars conceive the present day journalism as they did before using the traditional paradigm? \ Is it viable to trace the power of relationship between the blogs and the present day journalism irrespective of any sort of denial or exclusion? \ Do the blogs have any sort of effect on the present day journalism, even though blogging is still technologically not sophisticated? \ To answer all these questions, there seems to be a need for looking after the consequences of blogging in accordance with the journalistic paradigm. \ Hence, the journalistic paradigm enables communication scholars to trace back the development of the press over 400 years. In the mean time, scholars will find themselves confronted with the fact that journalism over the long history is not a static genre. However, it looks renovating itself. In addition, it becomes evident that the \ present day journalism is different from blagging in many different ways. \ Actually, constructivism has led to the emerging develop me of the "journalistic paradigm.” It intensifies that journalism as a genre is not a socio- cultural or political phenomenon; however it is an open system that is institutionally teeming up with functions, discourses, and ideas. \ Finally, the current study concludes that there seems to be a sort of difficulty in terms of the reciprocal interaction between the genre of journalism and blogging especially in the Arab arena but not in the Western one.
