Yes and no. …
Yes and no. Journalists can be bloggers and bloggers can be journalists.

I really hate it when people assume bloggers are just jackasses with a keyboard. Just like journalists, the credible and most quoted bloggers are trusted.

Is blogging a viable career path? That remains to be seen.

the main point at looking at blogging is the fact that its an instantaneous for of the journalism art form. You don’t have to wait for the editor to review it and then wait for the next day for it to be printed in the newspaper, its just type and click post and you’re done. That’s the new form of journalism, not so much the “blog”

I’m currently doing a degree in journalism and this video is great in that regard. First reason is, now part of the journalism curriculum is that we start a blog. It’s not that blogging is the new journalism, but that blogging is now more that ever a recognized medium for journalistic writing and readership. The true difference is the paycheck, and very little more. While a journalist will not be selecting what they will write about like a blogger the passion is there for both parties.

To the question of should bloggers be held to the same standard as more traditional forms of journalism. It’s my view that it is held to the higher standard because if you don’t like the content or nature of discourse it promotes you will not read it. Maybe it could be that we accept a lower standard in certain case from traditional forms of media because they may carry an authority that we don’t grant to bloggers and other online media sources.
