We just write - we comment on what we see. We do not usually investigate, we don't report, in the traditional sense of a reporter (though some live blog events which isnt that different from reporting from the field). We just comment on life and events as we see it.<br /><br />The debate of whether to give bloggers press credentials is not due to the bloggers writing like journalists (when you think of newspaper journalists), but because the media is turning to blogging as a form of commenting on events, and the people are reading blogs. In today's day and age, blogs are used for commenting as much as op-eds, and are competing with newspapers in the field of commentary for the public's attention.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-88956200391786223032012-06-25T08:02:18.475+03:002012-06-25T08:02:18.475+03:00josh, why?
