Are Bloggers Journalists: Are Blogs new Journalism?

Back


http://live.pirillo.com - Is blogging the new form of Journalism? Should bloggers be held to the same standards as the media? Those questions were asked of me recently in an email, and raise a lot of food for thought.

Good subject chrus. If you are getting paid to blog for a company, then you have a set of standards, and therefore should be held accountable. In many cases, bloggers are more trusted than journalists, because good bloggers link out to things they write about thereby sourcing their work. All good writers, whether a blogger, journalist or both, should practice good writing, and good writing includes being responsible for what you write.

I fear for the future of our youth because I get the feeling that it might turn out like that movie called "Idiocracy".

I can not say I am a good writer in the English language, but I hate seeing a blog with only pictures on it. They take longer to load in my opinion. If all I want to post is pictures then I open a web gallery instead. I hear picasa is a good. These bloggers are degrading all those that want more than just a fresh look at someone's behind. At least tell the audience why you think that behind is that special in a paragragh or two, before taking such bold move.

I am not sure how it works in the US but in Canada if you put it in print it's Libel. Meaning if I write it I am responsible for the things I wrote. So should we make comments or accusations that could harm another's stature or even hate mail. we could face legal problems,

Depends what type of blog, if it is a blog about your life then no. If its something that is uesful then its more like journalism.

I don't believe bloggers are journalists as journalism takes some skill, however I do believe they play a fairly important role in providing sometimes useful or interesting information, via the web. I have a blog and also do some journalism work. they do not cross.
