Blogging About Blogs
One of the big questions at the panel last night was "Are bloggers journalists?" Al Masscitti said that anyone who calls themself a jounralist is a journalist. So I guess I now have to figure out whether I am a journalist or not.
I seldom report original news, though it does happen on occasion. I usually just do analysis. The best analogy I could come up with is that of a cable news show, especially in light of Tucker Carlson's show (of which I am a huge fan, becuase it is not boring). Were I on TV, I would have guests on to debate analysis. Rather, because my reasoucres as a media outlet are limited, the guests are not "Live, via satellite," but are other bloggers and readers, who I comment on by posting excerpts/links here, and those who come to Jokers to the Right to comment on what I say. So if Tucker Carlson is a journalist, so am I.
