An anti-realist is a person who denies a reality separate from our mind or our thoughts on this reality.
Your own story
I believe that your own story is news. The view I have is everything is news, but the more significant news is what grabs people's attention. Instead of simply telling your own story, it would be better to relate your story with another; make it all connect. I think if you say "I had a potato for dinner" and posted it to your blog or twitter that is news; yet it's not what people are looking for. On the other hand, if you post a 400 word blog about a shooting in your neighborhood and how that relates with gun violence that's more significant news that people would care about. What really makes something news though?

Both journalism and a blog. Using his own opinion but relating it to a huge philosophical idea.

This is a perfect example of something that's not anti-realist. Borders are real, they separate us. An imaginary line across the nation can truly make a difference in how things are reported. Different things happen in different places, because of the borders.
