ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS ♥

ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS? What is your take on this?

Did u ever came across to read somebody blog everyday or every week? Honestly i did read some blogger's post, i made it as my daily must do stuff. Due to my curiosity and interest to know about the blogger's life, that's why i read their blog. Can bloggers consider as journalists??

I'm not agree that bloggers can be consider as journalists. As we know, most blogger blog about their interest, daily life or even gossip around. It's more on their own feelings and their thought. Journalist will be someone who write for newspaper or magazines, talk about the happenings event and issues that surrounding us. Therefore there is a difference between blogger and journalists, we can't consider blogger as journalists, because the content and way they both write are different.

Blogging can be a trend too, more and more people start to have their own blog. If you want to be a blogger, it's easy, you just need to open an account in any blog site, like blogspot, xanga, wretch, myspace and other. You will automatically become a blogger once you start to post a blog. For a journalists, it can't be that easy, you need to write about something that is happenings or hot issue, the grammar and the way you write must be in a proper and formal way. Blogger doesn't care about their grammar, as long as people can understand and get the message is enough already. Even myself who own a blog, and so called myself as blogger, doesn't care about my grammar mistake that appear in my blog. This is the difference between blogger and journalist.

Hence, bloggers are not journalists. =)
