Definition of "Journalist" from Merriam-Webster:
1a: a person engaged in journalism; especially : a writer or editor for a news medium
1b: a writer who aims at a mass audience
2: a person who keeps a journal

Everyone on social media meets the qualification.

There's nothing here that tells me that I'm not already a journalist.

In fact, The American Press Institute specifically says that "Asking who is a journalist is the wrong question, because journalism can be produced by anyone."

The distinction between a blog and journalism is very fuzzy.
I'm not sure there actually is one.
There are many twitter accounts with independent investigative reporting, such as @almostjingo and @GOPPollAnalyst

How are they not Journalists?

Newspapers in print are dying. They're being replaced by people just like you who express opinions about or post facts about events.
So my question is, does a public social media site have the right to block content that isn't clearly violent or hateful?

After Pres. Obama signed us up to spend untold billions in developing countries on energy & associated infrastructure, everyone was betting uranium prices would at least double.

Uranium One is just a drop in a global bucket of us getting energy screwed.

Oh well, I'm sure no one was upset that since @POTUS kicked the Paris Accord to the curb the price of Uranium crashed.
Ok, it's possible that all of those mega-energy & mining companies that made spiffy deals during Obama's 1st term may be slightly pissed.
Ever heard of that Clinton foundation thingy?
Bill Clinton goes to Australia to talk about kids? at a forum sponsored by a private energy & infrastructure company in June 2010. brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queen…

Jeff Sessions couldn't be fired before the mid-terms simply because of the bs lefty narrative it would create.
Imagine being in @realDonaldTrump's shoes and this insane Russia investigation was trying to not only take you out, but your kids out also.
You wouldn't like that.
Jeff is a good guy that would never tolerate being seen as compromised, so he recused, then just tried to do the best he could to run the Justice Dept. INDEPENDENTLY.
Not good enough. @POTUS deserves an AG in charge of all facets of the department just like every other POTUS had
I find it difficult to believe that Eagle Scout Jeff Sessions and Pres. Trump hatched some elaborate plan to go after leakers, political opponents, etc.
It's easy for me to believe that POTUS handed Jeff the reins and let him do whatever he thought was best.
Next AG will be GREAT

Quick thread about Omarosa & Cohen, who both secretly recorded @realDonaldTrump, and why I've said in the past that the Clinton's don't play politics at the beginner level.

1. Omarosa attended this hilly fundraiser 2016
latimes.com/nation/politic…
2. "All of us have to stick together and get behind this sister because I'm going to tell you, when I was at the White House, she cared about each and every one of us and she made sure we stayed connected to the issues that were important," Omarosa said. latimes.com/nation/politic…
3. @realDonaldTrump hasn’t yet declared his candidacy for the 2012 presidential election, but he’s already tangled up in an FEC complaint and an abortion flip-flop. Linked to both is Michael Cohen.~Paul Alexander on the Trump adviser’s political résumé. thedailybeast.com/meet-donald-tr…

"Excuse me everyone for tagging you.  I am reaching out to many as possible in re: to "wildfires in California.
The recent "wildfires" in Paradise, California 1000's of people died and 30,000 + homes destroyed. What most people don't know the "wildfires" are man-made. I will provide clips, links of evidence, what we're up against and a solution. The mainstream media has been downplaying...
...on the "wildfires" to keep us all ignorant for not knowing the truth.  This is a 4  part thread."

I don't have a course to give a pep talk to any more, so if you're starting any #Journalism undergrad course in the morning, here are my top tips.
1) Today is the first day of your professional life as a journalist. Keep your eye on the exit. Three years will pass very quickly, if you wait until finals to think about your first job you've missed the opportunity.
2) Noone in the real world cares about your marks, so long as you pass everything. It's nice to get a First, and with the right attitude it's more than possible, but given the choice between brilliant grades and work experience, take the placement. Every. Time.

End of news? My essay on why the crisis of journalism is beyond business models or trust—and what it means for democracy. #media #journalism
medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News was a historical cultural invention within certain conditions and with specific functions. Those conditions have now changed, I argued, leading to the demise of news. medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News is dying, but journalism is evolving into something else: non-fiction literature and video documentaries. My latest essay with quotes from James Carey, @jayrosen_nyu and Michael Schudson.

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
