If a journalist is one who gets paid for their writings, and a blogger does not, remember there are many who put out literature that is freely given out, who do not accept payment for publishing their point of view.
Of course a blogger may actually be getting some form of remuneration, just that it may not be that obvious.
Can't anyone be sued for libel by anyone that disagrees with them ?
Of course not everyone can afford to go to court for their writings, so is it right to be right, or does one have to be rich to get ones' point of view across ?
I didn't know a journalist was protected from revealing their sources by a shield law. What stops a journalist, even a paid one, from going on a vendetta against a person or company they don't personally like ?
