in the Blog Age, it's amazing the amount of people that consider themselves "journalists" -- some of them have a better ethic than many of my fellows in the field. Others, on the other hand, tend to make the entire profession look asinine. The preponderence of self-appointed "journalists" with absolutely no editorial oversight does tend to irk me sometimes, but the comparative benefits are pretty good. After all, blogs and other non-traditional new media have been responsible for breaking some serious news in the last few years.
