I'm somewhat in the small indy publishing world and we call them bloggers. It's assumed bloggers are the ones willing to do anything for views and money while journalists are the ones making sure their sourcing factual information.
* Not to say all bloggers do that!
- nailer 9y agoI'm not really sure that's true anymore - journalists are the ones obsessing over the links between Donald Trump [1]'s hands and his penis, piss-gate, editing videos for fake fish-food dumping stories, changing the dates on conversations from after to before the election to suit conspiracy theories and then having to apologise when discovered, and other items where a) facts are either not sought or b) outright lies created. [1] I happen to dislike Donald Trump intensely, but the fact that some people would need to confirm a political stance before willing to accept cases where there is no visible evidence of truth or evidence of outright fabrication indicates those people are part of the problem.
