Pour on the down votes. Don't care. But journalism is journalism. A lot of people write articles and call them blogs just because they are not selling the article to another distributor. The term logging has been around for ever. It's just unformatted diary writing that you share with the public. Back in the late 90's a lot of companies were encouraging their developers to web log thoughts to help them relieve stress and get things off their mind so they can focus better. They same HR that encouraged this started grading and judging dev's on their blog and this trend died. Just recently (last year or two) the company I work for pitched it's blog system because we were just using it to share tech docs.
If you're a freelance journalist who makes a living writing articles than I think your diminishing what your doing by calling it a blogging. Okay there are some people that leave very interesting lives (or good story tellers) and write in a diary fashion and make a living off of it. But mostly what I see is freelance journalist writing articles, self editing and self publishing. IN PARTICULAR to the "professional bloggers" that really do make a decent living from it. It's so degrading in my eyes to call what they do "blogging." An article is so much more work than a log entry.
