You know I'm the first advocate for the power and importance democratized publishing. That said, while I believe journalism can and often does take place on blogs, I'm willing to bet that at least a sizable chunk of that 52% are way overstating their case. Reminds me of that scene in Crazy People:The majority of bloggers -- 52% -- "view themselves as journalists, up from just one third of respondents last year.

Wow, a Crazy People reference.
That is one of the reasons you will always be one of my favorite writers.
