If I want credibility (and correct spelling) I will pick up a newspaper, or log on to a big news website.
If I want opinion, insights into life, varierty of views, curiosities, I turn to blogs.
I don't see them as competing, but complementary. Like wine and cheese. Blogs with news are OK, but I am less likely to believe them if I don't know the source. Mind you, I don't think anyone really believes much of what they see in the mainstream news now, anyway.
And I would probably question anybody calling themselves a journalist that writes celebrity gossip...
What do people think of journalists?

This is the ultimate in anarchist pursuits. Writing just because we can, not knowing who will read it, or how they will take it, or how they will use it. No one edits us but us, there are no thought police. There is security in a crowd. Write your ass off.
From Porridge girl...

on JUST ONE MORE THING TO STRESS ABOUT

You can have it all. It's just that the definition of ALL changes when you have kids. I used to just scream at the injustice of seeing good women struck down the career ladder because they had kids. I didn't want to be that! But then, suddenly, I was pregnant. I could see my future - one long sliperslide to oblivion. But then I had the child, and realised that I would do what I had to do.
Now, I have been promoted, work from home, have a great house by the beach in which to live, and can blog to my heart's content. You'd be surprised what employers will do to keep their staff. I was so surprised with my bosses reaction when I told them that not only was I having a baby but that I was moving cities! They said, oh, well, you can do this job. Sorry, it's a promotion, but it will make it easier for you. Stunned. I am not that good an employee, either!
