Judge Kleinberg got it right when he made it clear that there weren’t separate rules for bloggers and journalists.
That’s not to say bloggers are or aren’t journalists—just that there shouldn’t be a distinction. In other words, the same rules apply to everyone. But—and here’s the tricky part—although the rules apply to people equally, we can, do, and should apply them differently to different acts. Asking whether bloggers are journalists is meaningless. What’s important isn’t the person but the product. If a snoopy 12-year-old girl find evidence that her town’s mayor is taking bribes, then collects it, verifies it, and publishes it on her blog, that’s journalism. If Waiter Cronkite writes in his diary that he planted daisies and washed the dishes that afternoon, that’s not. It’s what’s done, not who’s doing it.
This isn’t something that always needed to be pointed
A. rules should not be set to regulate people’s behaviour
B. what is published determines whether the writer is a journalist
C. the quality of news stories determines the quality of a journalist
D. a blogger is a better journalist if he can produce newsworthy stories
