		<description><![CDATA[I agree with Steve Laser and Hoot G. If written and produced correctly, blogs could be a form of reliable media. But then, is there such thing as reliable media?

Most of the TV I watch is rubbish. They are constantly using illegitimate sources, and they seem to run only by their OWN rules. Why should bloggers have to abide by anything more than what the rest of the media have to?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a journalist one must write according to the style and type of the newspaper! It is true that if a newspaper wants to attract advertisments from example the municipalities of an area will avoid writing against the Mayors or the people who are responsible for paying the money...Therefore those who pay more to the newspaper will be favoured by the gournalists who work with the specific papers...and so on!This is only one example. If somebody owns a blog then its easier to express ones opinion. Through a blog one feels free to do more things to act as he feels to use imagination and to create something unique without thinking of the cost of publishing and also is not obliged to obey to those who pay money to have journalists be their pupies!!!!There is a lot to be said....but this time I am worried about my new blog which I can not see in the Internet!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Its as if you are trying to fit square ideas into the square holes and the circle ideas into the circle holes.  Why is it necessary to make some binary arbitration as regards to what you do.  Ones and zeros, this or that, blogger or journalist.  I know what I do - and it won&#039;t change if someone gives it a new name tomorrow.  Its as though Mr. Jones is arguing with his son - Mr. Jones - over which one is more or less Jones than the other.  Is it a useful query?   Bloggers, journalist, writers, et al. Are we not each of us an individual voice, a different angle, a distinct perception - an interpretive style derived from the layers and custom filters of our own experience? I think of it like this -  what the files and folders on my PC&#039;s desktop are to the files and folders on my father&#039;s desktop 20 years ago, is what bloggers are to journalist.  The tools, infrastructure and specific circumstances are different, the motives, processes and responsibility are in essence unchanged.&lt;/p&gt;

Its cool to blog look at me look at me i wana be a journo when i grow up! Lazy blog hacks!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[Bloggers are never journalists in my opinion. There is nobody editing the posts written. A journalist always has his real name on the table and should sell the product as one. A blogger is just a creative writer with the unknown urge to get the text out in the public.

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seriously, what&#039;s an A-List Blogger? Robert Scoble? Whomever shows up in Valleywag? I can&#039;t figure it out. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can&#039;t answer the larger question here. I would like to point out that James and Kevin probably show more journalistic tendencies than others. After all, both of you write for publications that portend to hold such standards high. That would have an effect on your writing style and your concerns about accuracy. I don&#039;t know when one would cross from &quot;blogger&quot; to &quot;journalist,&quot; however.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;I tend see to the opposite with this site.  I value more their opinion than just boring information.  If all I wanted was recycled links of product news, I&#039;d go to Mobility Site.&lt;br /&gt;
James and Kevin aren&#039;t afraid to express their opinion whether it&#039;s popular or not.  They&#039;ve been doing this long enough where integrity is not in question.  Plus, they seem like cool dudes.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;div xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dude, you seem to be a journalist. A journalist respond to the responsability, that the words put out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Surely, a blogger can do that too, but a blogger doesn&#039;t need to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You always seem to put information above opinion, and that&#039;s important. I don&#039;t really care, what some guy thinks. But I like to be informed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If it&#039;s youre highest goal to inform the public in a objective way, then you&#039;re a journalist in the works. If you write stuff on the internet to put your opinions forward, you&#039;re a blogger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s what I think anyway, feel free to disagree :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]></description>

        &lt;p&gt;There are two groups who respond to JK on the Run as an authoritative blog: us the readers and many of the hardware and software vendors that give you heads up, new products and programs before they are released. To me these are the two most important audiences. It doesn&#039;t matter what MSM thinks we the readers trust you and the vendors (HTC, EverNote, HP etc) have enough sense to send you evaluation products and early betas. You are functioning as effectively as MSM without all the excess. Keep up the great work!&lt;br /&gt;
