Before I start my point, i want to know what is blogger and journalists. As I know, blogger is the people who write something on her/his blog. What is blog? Blog is a website that a writer can use to share and post her/his idea, opinion and thoughts to everyone. It is like online diary that we can share our thoughts and we can update everyday. What is a journalist? As I know that journalists is someone that write or search something news, information and entertainment for the magazine and newspaper. The Merriam Webster definition of a journalist is a writer or editor for a news medium.
Are blogger journalists? For me, blogger is not journalists because there are two different of thing. Blogger is based on individual opinion and journalist is based on fact and data collection. Blogger is just sharing something like video, picture or some note to everyone and it also can comment persistent. Journalists is a job who reporting and recording news, information and entertainment to the world. Blogger is not a full time job and it is just personal or can be said as part time. Otherwise, journalists are a full time job and they need to find different information, news and entertainment to the world and other in everyday. Blogger also can write something that out of their expression and they just sit in front of the computer and start to write and share or post something on their blog and they no need always update their blog. Journalists need to always go out and find information or news to their audience and they also need to record, report and upgrade the news in every day and every time.

Besides that, journalists are get money from their information. Blogger also can find some money from their blog but is not all the blogger can do that. That is the different. Why i said that? Because some of the people who write or edit the blog is very interesting and they can attract a lot of people visit or see her/his blog in everyday, so some of the advertising company will find them and put some advertising in their blog to attract people. This is the way that let blogger can earn some money.
In conclusion, blogger and journalists are two different of things. Blogger is just sharing his thoughts to everyone and journalists are need to record, report and upgrade the news to everyone.

I agree to Xian in saying that bloggers and journalists are not the same. Bloggers are not necessarily a full time paid job. However, a journalist is considered to be a professional job which can get income based on the facts he or she has gathered.
