Bloggers more frequently combine both functions as well as the others above. <br>Bloggers originated as independent writers, in contrast to journalists & reporters who have to write on whatever subject their production instructs them & who have to toe the party line with their viewpoints & commentary. As bigger blogs recruit more writers this distinction becomes less valid, but independent bloggers are ultimately topical writers who having their own means of production & distribution, do not need to be recruited by & have the support of 'the company'. All the categories above are answerable to someone else, are a cog in the wheel, the blogger has his own wheel. The blogger is not subservient.

A lot of bloggers have high writing skills and sure they are great journalists. But business bloggers can be called journalists aswell. I tend to think that those bloggers who just fill large quantities of information for SERP rankings, as not jounralists. But we all have differences in opinion. And your 5 points have merit, so they could well be true. <br><br>Andy I tend to think of bloggers as journalist but in regards to their respective niche.
