> Are politics bloggers journalists? Are bloggers who occasionally talk about politics journalists? Are people who livetweet a news event that they're involved in acting as journalists?
No. They are respectively a blogger, a blogger, and a Twitter user.
- K_REY_C 10y agoAnd yet if they're at the same event I'm quite likely getting something that, in combination, is much closer to what I'd call journalism.
- nercht12 10y agoThen what's a "journalist"? Someone who gets paid to go do the research? "Journalist" is derived from "journal" (duh, but important) - bloggers are nothing more than online journalists. The fact that they are called "bloggers" is only because society has elected to stick with the term "blog" for an online journal.
