Blogging as a journalist — there is a difference

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — After reading a couple of more proposals, there’s another point I want to re-emphasize as we do these blogs — don’t forget that we’re posting with our journalist’s hat on.

That means while blogging does involve your personality and your opinions in certain situations, it  doesn't mean you compromise yourself as a reporter, either. The basic mission of journalism is to seek out the truth about something for your readers and that has to remain the top priority, at least when it comes to your final project and any other original reporting you plan.
