The genre of argument I would most likely choose would be a blog, and it's because I already maintain two other blogs, so if I wanted to make an argument, the blog would be a natural outlet for me.
While blogs are more informal, they are also a lot more personal. The blog, as a form of argument, allows a person's biases to show, and it also is a break from established conventions which can stifle creativity. A newspaper article must follow a certain format and either take a stance or provide information, or both. Newspapers are powerful, but they ultimately serve the interests of politicians.
A blog, however, serves the interests of the people, for it is the people who make blogs. Since there is usually no money involved in blogs, the viewpoint can be a lot less skewed because people writing blogs are looking for the truth, as opposed to supporting or destroying any one particular political party.
