SWA #5

I chose to writing about "Are Bloggers Journalists?" by Christopher B. Daly because I thought it was interesting since we as a class are bloggers and we blog at least twice a week. So I felt like this article related to me and the rest of the class. There are many people in this article trying to decide if bloggers are really journalist or if they aren't anything at all really. Some say that they aren't because they have no editor or no one to proof their writings before they post them to the internet.
I my opinion if you are writing some then it should count no matter if you have an editor or not. Plus many of the writers they are talking about in this article are pretty good writers and they know what they are doing and how it needs to be done. I don't think anyone should be able to say whether or not a blogger is a journalist that's just a personal opinion. I don't know that I believe all bloggers are journalist but the ones they are talking about in this article I believe are more than likely journalist even if they don't meet all the standards of Daly's opinion of what exactly a journalist is.
