Are Bloggers considered as Journalists ?
That is a question which are in the mind of many people for years ..........
As a Journalists , they are responsible for get the latest information and distribute the information to the public to make sure that the public is always getting updated information about ours world.
As a blogger , they do not have any responsible like a journalists , most of them are write something which is related to themself , the purpose of them for writing a blog is they wanna to share their experience , feeling or else ......... BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN ALL !!
For What I Think , the blogger and journalists is almost the same , but journalists are on Traditional media which is paper-based , like magazine ,newspaper etc ....... and blogger is on their blog, that why we called them as blogger.But what is the biggest different between them is journalists are getting control under the law , and the blogger are NOT in Malaysia .
Before a person works as a journalist , they needed to be train in everything ..... writing skill , languages skill , grammar and more ......... but a blogger no need to be train ... so that why , the Article wrote by a journalist is always better that a blogger. Just imagine that , if a journalist did not using proper languages ...... it will effect many people ...... including the young generation , they are learning the wrong languages and getting "polluted" .....
A journalists cannot simply write something , cause when they are writing something wrong or else , it might cause a chaos , or other terrible effect . After that , the journalist will be caught under the law , they are controlled by the law .But , a bloggers , he or she can just write anything they wanna to write , they no need to worry about anything because at Malaysia , that still don't have a specific law is related to internet crime or something like this ...... since the blogger are not controlled under the law , they just don need to scare anything , they can just write anything they want to write , although that is illegal for write and it may cause the chaos and terrible effect .........
for example : In this world , everyone got its one privacy , we must respect to other people privacy , that is a “Restricted area” which we cannot step inside , but some blogger they are just don't haven moral value !! Since the blog can help you to earn more money if the click is higher, so those blogger they just wanna to post something which can make his or hers blog become more interesting and attract other people come visit their blog , they just don't care about anything , they spy and post other people privacy......... and post something which might cause a terrible effect ..........
As the conclusion , some of the bloggers , they can considered as journalist ,because they just wanna to share the information and their personal experience , feeling about those information.
but for some of them , they are not considered as a journalist , some more they are do some illegal thing by "legal" , just because that the law problem ! so i strongly recommend that Malaysia government must enforce the law about internet crime ...... but before that Malaysia should enhance the education system which is on information technology to produce more people who are expert in this field ........ for execute this kind of laws .........

I agree with Kong that blogger and journalist aren't the same, because blogger can simply post any topic without training and sometimes what a blogger post may invade other people's privacy. Malaysia should take this seriously by creating new law or ISA(Internal Security Act) and arrest that person but that is a bit too much.
