Blogger are not a Journalists

Yes. It is not the same. Blogger and journalists are totally different. I found this video on youtube, it explain a bit about the different.



So, you know that it is different. "Journalists is the profession of reporting or photographing or editing news stories for one of the media" as said in wordnetweb.princeton.edu. It's mean that, journalists is a job for someone to write a facts on something like news. They also need or must write for earn money because it is a job for them. They do research and interview for them to write it in their article. Their article are protected so if they write wrong they will not be jailed easily.

Bloggers, are different. They write anything he/she wanted to. They can give opinion on any article. They also free to write anything that they want. About their life, expression, ideas, and anything what the want. But, if they touch the sensitive issue, they can be sue by the government if they write any bad about it.

So, for me, bloggers and journalists are different. Bloggers is someone who can write anything that they want to write. Journalists is a profession that they need to write an article for their company.
