Is Blogging Journalism?

     I agree with Gina Masullo Chen, who wrote a blog responce to the question, Is Blogging Journalism. I do agree with her because she gave very good reasons to why blogging isn't journalism and I couldn't disagree with the reasons that she wrote. Chen wrote that blogging isn't the threat to journalism-fear of change is.
     Blogging isn’t journalism because, a lot of people use blogs as sources for what they are writing about as journalists. When you look at a blog do you picture what you’re reading to be in the newspaper the next morning? People write about their families in their blogs. You don't normally read about family stories in the newspaper.
     Blogging is writing on a computer, and journalism is writing in the newspaper or doing reports on the news. Blogging is totally different from journalism. Blogging is not journalism and that will never change.
