That's a question being debated all over the interwebs, isn't it? I think it depends on what your definition of journalism is. You could call Josh Marshall at TPM a journalist, right? But what about Perez Hilton? Aren't both of them disseminating information? I would say the blogs of my fellow MTV Street Team members (www.streetteam08.com) count as journalism, but maybe not the pajama-clad basement dweller writing about his cat. It's all in the content and purpose of the blog.
Bloggins is journalism only if only facts and details are reported on a story, situation or happening presented in an unbaised manner following the rules of jounralism.
Hey, the blog is back! Who can post on the blog? I would guess that only the administrator (you) can originate a post on the blog, but any reader can add a comment. I note you already have a picture of the speakers of this afternoon -- that's great. People like you and Mary Rupert have been the real mainstays of this organization.
