“What’s the difference between an article and a blog?”
Blogs are more subjectively written while articles are more objectively written.
Blogs bond with their audience more easily through typical language, a platform for emotion, a milieu of trend dialogue, and breathing room for common assumptions.
Articles provide more officious information, less subjugated to opinion. In order to win a professional perspective from their audience, articles must maintain their credibility through writing: Language is formal while emotions are checked to allow for facts to speak in-themselves.
This doesn’t mean dutiful businesses don’t have blogs, or that free-spirited individuals don’t produce fact oriented webpages. The following are tendencies on a non-exclusive spectrum:
Pros of an Article
The focus is on providing facts.
The author is less important than the content.
They provide reliable information.
They are typically categorized by topic on a website.
Pros of a Blog
Information is decorated with subjectivity.
Personalization can sometimes sell the objective better: consumer experience, quotidian authenticity, common terms, shared thinking.
The author’s celebrity personality may amplify the subjective experience.
They are typically categorized chronologically on a website.
