Seares: Bloggers, journalists | Sun.Star Network Online
sounds more like damage control to me.
who ever claimed that bloggers are journalists in the first place?
before blogs and forums, there were tabloids. who regulated them?
media in any form is still media. even if the blogger or forumer is NOT a journalist, it's up to the person digesting that person's opinion to figure out if it is true or if it makes sense.
unlike PAID media, everybody is equal in the internet media, journalist or not.
i was just wondering why Chief Chiking wrote this. i hope this was just a crazy coincidence.
