Hey maybe the first guy who went around taking pictures of shit for the newspaper was considered insane by some.
Idk, but mb yhe they are our generation's addition to journalism
I hate that I feel like I have to disclaimer that this is just thinking, and not justification or anything... But it's a sensitive topic
But my thought is if we considered all bloggers as journalists... I feel like we'd have to consider people in WW2 who kept journals as well.
Again, not trying to take away from anything. I guess I just think considering internet hobbies as professions is weird in general. Like "rapper kills rapper" news story... But the rappers have a few songs on SoundCloud with like 10 listens.
Welcome to the future ig, no one said it would be what we thought
