Many bloggers that are worth their weight are anxious about getting it right, and care enough about their readers to make sure they do if they are writing about news related stories.

I'd be curious to hear from traditional journalists on what term they prefer. And I wonder if we'll ever come to a consensus on one term.

Although I recognize when I'm wearing those shoes, and those of just a blogger. It's different, to be sure, and I've done both. It's possible that paychecks make the difference.
