Journalism Defined
I loved this quote by former journalist and now a consultant for Wikipedia:
Journalism is not a profession: it is not like being a surgeon or a lawyer. There was an uneasy attempt to professionalize it with the advent of j-schools etc., post-Watergate. But at its heart, it’s just a craft. And that means that it can be practiced by anyone who is sensible and intelligent and thoughtful and curious, who bothers to learn the rules and do it carefully.

Nice quote. I think there are a lot of bloggers out there that are better than professional journalists simply because they care and bother to get the facts straight.
