Are bloggers jounalists? Why or why not? No, I don't think bloggers are journalist because bloggers rely on other blogs and do not qualify as journalists.
Bloggers have been responsible for breaking and carrying news stories that have resulted in senators losing their jobs and possibly changed the course of the last presidential election. Is that good or bad? Yes it is good in a way to keep people from doing wrong things behind closed doors such as senators. You don't want crooks running in the office right? But it is also bad if it is done in a wrong way, such as, to gain a position in an office.
Should bloggers have the same rights (to access events, interview, etc) and protections (not to have to reveal their sources) as nespaper and television reporters? Yes, bloggers should have rights and protections as long as bloggers don't violate anyone.
