I don't have a huge argument either way, but to back her up a little- I think what she's getting at is a primary split between blogger and journalist. Or, put another way, old media vs. new media. Formal education is by far the easiest way to break them up. You can argue that bloggers are journalists and journalists can be bloggers, but I think for her purposes she's deliberately putting that arbitrary split in between the two to differentiate the two a little better. The rest of the points she makes are a lot of what's taught in traditional education- impartiality, attribution, things that aren't particularly stressed in the blogosphere. Again, they're not confined to journalism in particular, but if you're trying to argue journalism vs. blogging in particular (like she and everyone else seemingly wants to debate), they're definitely values held higher in journalism than blogging.
