Over the course of this semester, we have been presented with the question on whether blogging is considered journalism. I do not believe that blogging is the same thing as journalism. Journalism includes research, association that makes one credible, and objectivity. Blogging is a response to the news; without journalism bloggers would not know about news to write about. The only news they would know about is what directly effects them in their own lives, which breaks the objectivity rule in journalism. While blogging is not considered journalism, bloggers will fulfill an important role in society as far as getting more opinions and material for people to read.
What have you concluded after this semester? Are bloggers journalists?
