Some of the Comments on this Video:
Commentor 1: Good subject chrus. If you are getting paid to blog for a company, then you have a set of standards, and therefore should be held accountable.
In many cases, bloggers are more trusted than journalists, because good bloggers link out to things they write about thereby sourcing their work.
All good writers, whether a blogger, journalist or both, should practice good writing, and good writing includes being responsible for what you write.
Commentor 2: I can not say I am a good writer in the English language, but I hate seeing a blog with only pictures on it. They take longer to load in my opinion. If all I want to post is pictures then I open a web gallery instead. I hear picasa is a good. These bloggers are degrading all those that want more than just a fresh look at someone’s behind. At least tell the audience why you think that behind is that special in a paragragh or two, before taking such bold move.
Commentor 3: I don’t believe bloggers are journalists as journalism takes some skill, however I do believe they play a fairly important role in providing sometimes useful or interesting information, via the web.
I have a blog and also do some journalism work. they do not cross.
