two types of journalists

When I was reading over my classmates' blogs I ran across something Marissa wrote about. In her blog she talked about the importance of still having professional journalists in the mist of citizen journalism. I agree with her completely. Anyone can be a citizen journalists by blogging or starting a website. But in reality they may not put forth all the energy into researching and writing that a journalists does with every article. Journalists have more access to better research methods and they are trained to find the news and know what to do with it. Professional journalists are still needed to help people filter through the bull on the internet and face the big issues.
