“Blogging is only online, however, a newspaper or magazine is traditionally in print… Blogging is not as professional as journalism – one can simply create a blog at any time of any day, but you have to go to school and major in journalism. Blogs always seemed more personal to me.”

 Samantha Bassford, Graduate Student, Media and Communications Major

“It’s hard to define whether you’re a journalist or blogger. It depends on your credentials and who you are affiliated with. In a way, it goes hand in hand. Blogging can be a form of journalism. Some unemployed journalists blog in order to practice their writing skills, but that does not take away their title as a journalist. It’s hard to define the two.”

 Dr. Mara Rosenblum, Public Speaking Professor

“I prefer Journalism. Journalism is more credible and adheres to grammar. It is based on fact, not one’s personal opinion.”
