Is Blogging Journalism?

Submitted by Taran Rampersad on Mon, 11/30/2009 - 11:43

Someone on Facebook who asked to remain anonymous asked me the following question:

Blogging seems like fun. I ought to start one day... when I have time. Our government is actually proving to be a strong motivator for me to start. I just have to learn where journalism draws the line (I mean, ranting online that the PM is a @#$%hole is probably not journalism). Or do I have a misconception, that blogging/social commentary is not journalism?

That's a good question. And there's no easy answer.
