The term of journalist does not just end as a reporter, it can be an editors, photographers, graphic artists and page designers.
In my opinion, bloggers is not really can be considered as a journalist. Blogger write things that take on their interests while journalist write based on whom they want the article to be aimed to, usually it is about current issues that happen around us and they want to report the news to us.
Other differences between blogger and journalist is that blogger tends to write through their opinions and things that they known and sometimes they will write issues as well by following closely the journalist report to get the information while journalist have to interview people to get their stories. Through the post, reader can immediately and easily access the comment to give a review what have the blogger write and if there’s any mistake the blogger able to edit them. Unlike journalist, once the story have been publish, there’s no turning back to alter it and it will take time for journalist to response to the reader comments.
I would like to add that bloggers not only can alter their postings but also can totally delete the whole post. Journalist once published and if found incorrect facts can only be corrected in the next issue or the next day in the case of news paper report.
ReplyDeleteits true what deeb had said....and blooger is so much more easier compared to newspapers and news.. people are connected to the internet world nowadays. they can just view the blog and knows what is going on around =]
ReplyDeletewoo yeahh. I think a blogger needs a journalist in a way. Actually they need each other. A blogger can take any information from a journalist and share it with people. Before that, it would be nicer if they quote where they get the source from. So from this step, all the internet users can get 100% true facts instead of propaganda. While journalists can widen their influence.
