Are Bloggers Journalist?

(UMAR FARUQ BIN AHMAD - 1091102407)

From my point of view,
the blogger are not exactly same as the journalist. This is because not all blogger write same content as the journal. Some of them just wrote about their life, their passion, their environment and etc.

Beside that,
the journalist commonly word for get money but blogger is more free as the writer. The blogger can wrote anything what they like and not depend on any companies. Both also have the different type of writing. The blogger more free to write and commonly they wrote what they know, feel and think. While the journalist writing must conclude facts and must have some aspect that they must fill.

So, I think it is not suitable to said that blogger is journalist by referring from all that aspects shown by them.

i agree with your opinions about the different between bloggers abd journalist. But, to me, its all up to the bloggers to post what they wanted. if they want to post exactly the same stuff as journalist, then they can be recognize as a journalist also.

but if the blogger want to post based on fact, didn't it become a journal post?? then they also have the chance to be a journalist on their own blog.
