Blogging as journalism

If you're in my class you may remember I told you that as journalism students, you should blog. Most journalists blog (they just don't necessarily do it publicly).

That is not the same thing as saying all blogs are journalism. Far from it. This one, for example, is not. Blogs-as-journalism try to break stories, or to report on breaking stories.

Robert Scoble puts forth an interesting theory about blog rumors.
