Are Bloggers Journalists? -Erika Chong

ARE BLOGGERS JOURNALISTS? What is your take on this?


Depending on what kind of blogger.

1. Some people blog about their daily lives, their conflicts with other people and their daily outings.
2. Some people blog about society problems, health issues, their politic stand and education with proper language.
3. Some people blog like the second group of people, without the proper language.

To me, bloggers in the second group ARE journalists. Why?
Because they blog about things concerning humanity in a proper way.
They are reporting their experience with things in the society.

On the other hand, people in the first group I do not consider them as journalists, simply because they are writing a diary; while people in the third group can be totally ignored for wasting time blabbering about second hand news.

  2. 2nd and 3rd class journalists are different from bloggers. Typical bloggers like those we always see, they don't deserve to be called journalists.

    Making history doesn't have to be journalists. We can discover, but we don't have to be journalists.
