More of a question than any sort of observation or answer: Are people who write blogs specifically for newspapers (i.e. Colin) bloggers? Or are they journalists? I was thinking about this while reading Aldon Hynes' piece on what bloggers should be doing to fill in the gaps that the closing of newspapers are leaving. Aldon suggests that they act more like journalists would i.e. covering the news, going to events and writing about them.
Essentially, what differentiates bloggers who are paid by a newspaper to do it vs. someone who does it for free? Does a blogger just need to attend and cover said current events to become a "journalist"?
