What Is the Difference Between a Blog Post and an Article?

Fundamental differences between blogging and article writing

Blogging is a new style of writing compared to article writing. Articles have been around for hundreds of years, before the advent of the Internet, and after blog posts became so popular, print publications and specialized websites started to publish their articles online, as well.

So here are few differences between a blog post and an article.

● Medium

A blog post is housed on a blog, a site where entries are posted in reverse chronological order.

An article can be featured in any traditional channel (print media like journals, magazines, and newspapers) or digital publication.

● Tone

Blog posts are usually written in the first person and are personal in nature. Blog posts are conversational, friendly, casual, and informal. Blog posts are mostly based on the blogger’s opinion, personality, or personal experience and perspective, and written in their “voice” to connect with the reader.

Articles convey information, explanation, news, statistics, researched accurate facts, and are written in a straightforward, formal, and objective tone.

● Content Structure

Most blog posts are self-published and self-edited, and language rules are more flexible. The use of slang, fragment sentences, and short paragraphs is widely accepted on blog posts, which makes them simpler and easier to understand.

Non-fiction articles written for a publication go through thorough and intense rounds of editing to ensure immaculate grammar and impeccable sentence structure.

Note :

Successful bloggers can be both conversational and professional, and know how to craft truthful, helpful content that delivers great value to their readers.
