Jeanne, you bring an interesting perspective. I think what you say about remaining editorial is good. It's funny to see who's going to break a story first - Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, or TechCrunch.

Great topic and awesome title. I think it’s important to be who you are and not try and be unique. By trying to be ‘unique’ you end up being someone who you are not.

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, I post a hell of a lot everyday and for me it’s worked, but it’s worked because I am who I am warts and all.

Awesome post and will be coming back for sure

I’m agreeing with you more and more as time goes on. But the controversy certainly won’t end anytime soon.

Nice post, Brandon.

There are obviously all types of journalism, most notably being mass and personal — the debate in the journalism community that a blogger can or can’t be considered a journalist is absurd … and so 2005!

There’s no question that bloggers are journalists — merriam-webster defines a journalist as a writer who aims at a large audience, a writer or editor for a news medium, and even one who keeps a journal.

No where do they mention that you have to be under contract, work for a conglomerate enterprise, or even be professional … blogger is just another term within the journalism realm — like anchor, reporter, and writer.

Insightful post! In my opinion, the news reporting should be left to those who are equipped to handle it–blogs like Mashable and TechCrunch. Anyone else blogging about the basics of the iPad yesterday was just reiterating what they’d already said. The key for the rest of the blogsphere is to be editorial writers, not news reporters. I’ll read any number of blogs that cover what people think about the iPad, or how it’s going to change a particular field like photography or the newspaper industry. But I’m only interested in seeing one (very detailed) report of everything that Jobs actually said when he was unveiling the iPad.
