If blogging is part of the new participatory journalism (see the blog of Jay Rosen, Chair of NYU School of Journalism: http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/ ), is a blogger at risk of violating the traditional divide between journalism and activism? Is this an ethical issue, or a postmodern assertion that that divide isn't legitimate? Can a blogger do an activist-oriented post one day, and an objective report another day... thereby alternating roles at whim?
