Having researched on Dilpazier Aslam I have been asked to consider wether or not bloggers have a positive or negative effect on news gender.
If I had been asked this question before researching Dilpaizer Aslam my answer would have probably been neither as I wouldn't have thought that bloggers would have any effect what-so-ever on news gender. However, having done my own research and learning that had it not been for bloggers and in the Dilpaizer Aslam issue one blogger in particular The Guardian probably would never found the truth about Dilpaizer Aslam. It is most likely that by the time The Guardian had found out about Dilpaier Aslam his work could have offended much more people than his first article did.
Overall, after attending an online lecture on bloggers and news gender, I have come to the conclusion that bloggers do in fact have a positive effect on news gender. Bloggers can provide information that some people and some authorities can not or did not even know existed.
In some cases bloggers can have a negative effect on news gender, but all in all I think that they have a positive effect. Just like other normal citizens bloggers are allowed to express their opinion on a certain matter within reason, if by any means this opinion has any effect on news gender then it can only enhance the news allowing people to look at it from another angle with different information that has been provided, that maybe was not.

Good ideas in here - but I think you could make this post better by being more specific - you could give examples of the good and bad effects bloggers have had when they've criticised or attacked the news media...
In general, I think you're right that by putting more information and opinions out there, bloggers can help to shed more light on things, can help journalism to do a better job. But what happens when blogs are used by activists to push a particular point of view... Can bloggers help to generate the kind of media frenzy which obscures the truth more than it illuminates it? All interesting questions.
Again - proof read and check your posts - I think you meant to talk about the news agenda...
