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

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

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.
