Idk, but mb yhe they are our generation’s addition to journalism
Comment on Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself

I know, this isn’t a fun question, but it’s honest curiosity…
Do you think a contributing factor in the number difference is the amount of modern “journalist”? Like bloggers being considered journalists?
But in the end, it’s all fucked up and every death is a tragedy, no matter the profession or side.

I hate that I feel like I have to disclaimer that this is just thinking, and not justification or anything… But it’s a sensitive topic
But my thought is if we considered all bloggers as journalists… I feel like we’d have to consider people in WW2 who kept journals as well.
Again, not trying to take away from anything. I guess I just think considering internet hobbies as professions is weird in general. Like “rapper kills rapper” news story… But the rappers have a few songs on SoundCloud with like 10 listens.

I googled the names of a few of these guys and they got pictures with the blue “bulletproof” press outfit on and are real journalists.
Sadly these people don’t seem to be random bloggers.
