Who is a journalist?

Cialis Canada Daily, Prices Cialis 120 & Online Fast Shipping Tadalafil"reporter's privilege" and other rights traditionally reserved for professional journalists, Slate's Jacob Weisberg has a very enlightened take on the question of who is a journalist in this new world order:

Those who advocate a special legal privilege for journalists must accept that anyone who thinks he's a journalist is a journalist, and figure out how to protect the activity rather than a defined group of people. Properly understood, journalism has never been simply a trade or a profession. In a democracy like ours, it's a basic right.

Yes. Precisely. Journalism is a behavior, and the presence or absence of that behavior determines whether one is a journalist in any particular context.

The Framers got it right. We should, too.

Absolutely correct. This is a terrible thing that the fourth estate must confront with tooth and claw.

that makes sense,because if anyone who says they're a journalist is one.. they're following certain practices that are widely recognized

blogging is just a new way of performing an old craft... its not a profession but it is a craft.. like shoemaking

if you forget to stitch the soles to the rest of the shoe, it's not going to be a very good shoe

Jailed and convicted criminal Gary R. Wisner of Lodi California who was issued a $25,000 bench warrant for his arrest and also thrown in jail for child endangerment and sued by the Bank of Lodi for over $250,000 ending in bankruptcy. Wisner was also prosecuted on 15 felony counts including criminal assault against law enforcement agents. Wisner was ordered to post $310, 000 bail while incarcerated before facing his criminal trial.

A Stockton attorney stated: "Gary Wisner is a major fraud case and an obvious liar as he is facing multiple felony perjury crimes. He has been sued excessively for medical malpractice, breach of contract / warranty, fraud, harassment, defamation as well as criminally indicted, prosecuted, and jailed for child endangerment. He even attempted to file bankruptcy in the state of New York in order to keep from paying child support from his defrocked marriage. They ought to lock Wisner up in San Quentin and throw the key away."
