Bloggers Speak for Fans, Journalists Speak for the World

    Old school versus new school journalism, also known as blogging, has taken away the art what it means to be an actual journalist. Don’t get me wrong, but blogging is actually a great tool for aspiring writers as well as for people who just want to publish their insight online. Even some professional journalists have their own platform in the blogosphere. 
            As journalist and deadspin.com editor Will Leitch had said, blogging takes a lot of work, as does writing an article for a print paper or an online publication. Leitch and many other “pro” bloggers are an exception of those writers who have a well-qualified background to be an expert. 
            But, of course, in the online world, we have a bevy of bloggers who act as if they are qualified writers. At times, these “writers” tend to have too much feeling and bias to a particular team or athlete, which can constitute them as not being journalists. As journalists, we are taught to not have a bias to what we write about or cover. But that bias and passion for a team or a game is what brought us to writing here in the first place.
