Sometimes there is a question "Is that same between Blogger and Journalist?"
well, basically, blogger and journalist are in the same area. Both of them are trying to inform the readers. However, there is some aspects that we cannot say blogger and journalist are same.We will discuss it separately.
In the few last years, blogging has become a universal phenomenon in which everyone has felt free to express themselves, air opinions, promote themselves and, by extension, their products and services. In blog, blogger can share anything. They can share about products, service, or maybe they just share about the story. In this context, bloggers have the freedom to write only what we want and we like it, without liability to serve any audience or advertisers. Independence which is certainly not owned by the journalists who work on a media. Writing about blog is based on her/his hobbies to write about something and share to someone. We cannot find this factor on the Journalist.
Meanwhile, journalist have received professional education and training, have responsibilities, have certain skills, and have certain inherent traits assumed about their conduct. journalists have a very big responsibility on what they convey, and they write. They must write the true story of what was happening. The difference between journalists and bloggers is that bloggers write about something without any kind of wages and only on the basis of pleasure. But another case with a journalist, they get the wages about what they made based on the writings and some of journalists do this is not based on fun as a blogger.Journalists are also protected under the law and the applicable laws of the country and they have a code of ethics for a news story. But, this context cannot be applied in the bloggers.
In the conclusion blogger and journalist is not same. The differences of these materials are about the feeling of happiness to write the article and the other one is the purpose of writing the material is a job or hobby.
Thanks for the attention :)
