around the 17/10/07 Jackson West mentioned about Re: [videoblogging] What is a journalist--Defined that: >So legally, you aren't a journalist unless you're a commercial journalist, >huh? Funny, other 'professions' like medicine and the law aren't tied to >such mercenary considerations.
no, but unlike journalism medicine and law are professions which means there is a professioanl standards body, registration requirements (appropriate qualifications etc). Journalism in this sense is not a profession (a profession is a body that you need to be qualified to join) as if the local news outlet hires me to report, I'm a journalist. -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au [official compliance stuff:] CRICOS provider code: 00122A
