This festive season saw 11 Singapore bloggers coming together for a festive video to all their friends and followers. Other than the usual season greetings, the video also hopes to generate greater public awareness for bloggers’ craft and garner public support for the trade through online endorsement for the #SupportSGBloggers cause.
The image of bloggers has suffered due to recent controversies on bloggers demanding freebies from merchants such as restaurants or salons, etc. The job as a blogger has always been a difficult and thankless one. To bring the softer, up-to-date and important news to the general public, it demands time, effort, passion and determination to curate & perfect the content.
Through the video ‘We are Bloggers’ below, we hope to encourage Singaporeans to say ‘YES’ to the work of bloggers and to recognize the value of blogs and microsites in helping them make their day-to-day important decisions.
Hong Peng, a blogger who blogs at Hpility, and a director for the publicity video ‘We are Bloggers’ opined ‘This is a very timely and meaningful movement to get Singaporeans’ support on our craft. I have been blogging since 2007 and I take pride in attending events and launches, and bringing up-to-date information to all my readers. I see my job as an important one as it affects my readers’ decisions in all areas of their lives. I blog to see things differently and I hope Singaporeans can see the hard work we put in as bloggers’.
I personally feel that participating in this video has allowed like-minded bloggers to come together for a common goal, and simply, to share our joy and love for blogging, as this unique craft has been widely misunderstood. All of us have a deep passion and mission for blogging and we ensure our blog entries are professional. We hope Singaporeans can come forward to show us their support in this regard.
