Who is a Journalist?

I think with all of the new media that can be used to share views, opinions, and even some facts can make anyone a journalist. We can all be citizen journalists and give real world perspectives on what is happening in the world. The problem with so many citizen journalists is the bias that is apparent in the writings. The benefit of a paid, professional journalist is that we will get exactly that; a paid, professional, and hopefully unbiased view of the news. We can all get in on the story but sometimes it is important to get the information from those who know how to get it and report it.
