There's nothing wrong with blogs and nothing wrong with blogging. Bloggers are mostly smart, intelligent human beings whose got superbly talented hobbies of doing their way of using their time wisely by exposing their talents on writing, photography, drawing, planning and other hidden skills they have they have to blog entirely on their own time and using their own resources to make things happen according to their own vision and mind thinking. Most bloggers write about themselves and everything that happened to them on daily basis.
Bloggers and journalists have different set of rules. I told you already what bloggers or blogwriters are capable of while the journalists have their own contract to whatever companies they are affiliated to. I had written about the difference of those two subjects before in my other blogs. Journalism is stricter in the sense that their work is more complicated and they have their own editor and copywriter to set things right for them. They checked on spelling, grammar, and other mistakes must be omitted. Journalists for newspapers and magazines especially journalists for news are more complicated and double stricter to the most that they are certain lines that they should not cross. Confidential records must remain confidential and they should not shoot their messengers. They can't write anything that will jeopardize their own company following lawsuits. Journalists are always working about getting the news from other source of information. Journalists are not the main source of information, they are to seek the news and sources of information to find, discover, investigate and write the findings. They are "investigators" but not instigators. They should not force or coerce anybody by force or using brutal force to get information from somebody else because that's the duty of law enforcers or let say the FBI or CIA. Actually you can't use brutal force to get information from somebody without warrant that's why lawyers are allowed to be contacted by the person of interest.
Journalists have taken an oath too to fulfill their job as pleasing to be respected and to be believed. Bloggers are just the law abiding human beings happy to blog about their way of life, anything that is interesting, what interest them at any given time without pressure.
Bloggers are writers in a way that is absolutely fulfilling not complicated. No pressure on our side. Maybe if we are paid to do the blogging and we have to catch up the deadline and we are pressurized to write something that we don't like or subject that doesn't appeal to us or that can make us dumb...then that's the stress and pressure being applied.
Superman and Supergirl as journalists? They had chosen an occupation that led them to be there first at the spot of conflict. Nice! Amazing!!
