Playing ‘telephone’ with modern technology
I once was asked by a group of high school journalism students to differentiate between journalists and bloggers.
At the time, it was an important discussion point, not just for the students, but for our industry as a whole. And, it’s a discussion we continue to have on a recurring basis. Are bloggers journalists? What does it mean to be a journalist in the 21st century?
To answer the question bluntly, I said: “Bloggers are not journalists, however, journalists can make great bloggers.”
