ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS? What is your take on this?
Here comes the 2nd topic.
First, for me, a blogger of course is a person who write blog or author of a blog, while a journalist is a person who write article of news that could be in newspaper or magazines.
There is many kind of blog which it is up to the blogger what they wanted to blog. A blogger can blog about their daily life, things they interested in, or sharing things. Blog can be like a diary, sharing sites and more, but it doesn't works like a journal. Journalist collect and distributes information, it works is like a reporter.
A journalist even have a journalism degree(which have been stated in the article of blog.nj.com first line); while everyone can be a blogger as long as u register and open an account to blog. Journalist more on reporting the current event, trends, or people, which most people interested in; a famous topic or issues. But a blogger, the things they blog is wide range, and need not to be a hot or famous issues, and it could be untrue stuff, they also can blog anything they wan to share, such as their daily life which only few of their friends may interest in.
So my conclusion is bloggers are not journalists. Thats all from me by now. Thanks. =D

My opinions are same as you. Bloggers tend to write what they know, think and feel. Journalists are supposed to give facts, and unfortunately don’t always get them correct.
