Type of blogging
A liveblog is blog posting intended to provide coverage of an ongoing event in rolling text, similar to live television or live radio. Liveblogging has increased in usage by news organizations and blogging establishments since the mid 2000s, when it was initially used to broadcast updates of technology conferences in the absence of or alongside streaming video captures, and like microblogging, has gained currency as an online publication format which performs the same function as live television news coverage. The term "live text" is also used, for example by the BBC.

Incorporative of microblogs (which are continuously updated but are also used widely as a short form liveblogging platform), a liveblog is a single post which is constantly updated by one or more authors (usually on location correspondents) with up to the minute logs of the goings on, and are usually performed during specific types of events rather than as regular features. Furthermore, during longer running events beyond the length of twenty four hours (such as civil, political or military events), a liveblog post will be ended after a 24 hour period and followed by a successive liveblog post for the next 24 hours.

A live blog is a single post which is continuously updated with timestamped micro updates which are placed above previous micro updates. During liveblogs, a wide number of media, including video, audio, images and text, can be incorporated in order to explain what is going on at a specific location. Such content may be posted from external sources, such as other press agencies and non employees, if such content is only available from those sources (i. e., a live blog of an event by Al Jazeera English may post embedded video from CNN or YouTube if such video is centrally relevant to a recent occurrence within the scope of the event and is credited to authors affiliated with such organizations). Live blogs are usually ordered from top to bottom so that the most recent updates appear at the top of the post. Posts may also be automatically updated using JavaScript based auto refreshes (by the minute) which do not reload the entire webpage.

Because of their synchronous nature, live blogs have been compared to live broadcasting on television and radio in their immediacy and currency. However, such blogs are almost always used for coverage of, and commentary on, one time or specialized events, and live blogging is not yet widely considered a regular section specific feature for most online news services, while news specialty channels tend to provide almost 24 hour live studio broadcasts in audio and/or video format without necessarily focusing dedicated coverage on specific current events except when necessary.

The live blogging format is controversial for readers of news websites in that the presentation is a clear departure from more traditional methods of news gathering and presentation, both on and offline. Matt Wells, blogs editor for The Guardian, contended that live blogs, rather than being the "death of journalism", will actually be the "embodiment of its future".
