Bloggers is bloggers~~~~~

Bloggers are called Bloggers and not Journalists. If they were journalists then they'd just be journalists who are, incidentally, paid for their work in the field and office.If you would rather have someone telling you what's going on then be prepared to believe whatever you're told. Bloggers are mostly opinion/editorial based and offer a different point of view on a subject. There is another option and you pointed it out yourself...you'd know them when you saw them. That further simplifies the answer to your question and the addition to your action plan...don't read them.Even in a country where most citizens probably have no idea what a blog is, it's not just an academic debate. Bloggers, some observers say, are becoming major players in everything from national politics to consumer trends.
A lot of people have been trying to figure out the difference between bloggers and journalist. There seems to be a feeling among some that bloggers are less important than journalist. Others feel journalists are behind the times… Truth be told, the argument comparing bloggers and journalist isn’t even one we should be having. They are extremely different from each other in certain aspects, but extremely similar in others. Each fulfills a different role. In reality, nothing stops a blogger from being a journalist and vice versa – it’s just a matter of semantics.
However, in the spirit of the argument, I think it prudent that we attempt to define and separate bloggers and journalists… In its most simple forms, the definition of a blogger must be someone that writes a blog. But that’s not really enough for us to continue. So how can we extrapolate that? We need to identify what a blog is and make some assumptions and generalities. The interesting part of the definition to keep in mind is the idea that a blog is personal. Also the definition doesn’t say anything about fact or bias. You could say that a blog does not need to be the full truth; instead it could be “reflections” and “comments”.I don’t think it’s fair to define blogs and bloggers from the point of resources and topic .So in the end the only true definition of a blogger is someone that writes a blog. What’s a blog? It’s an online journal that a writer can use to share his ideas and thoughts. Therefore, a blogger is someone that writes his ideas and thoughts online.
