My question is this, how many drops of blood define one as a journalist?

By a journalist from iran What makes a journalist? Is it someone with a journalism degree? Maybe it is more. Maybe, to be called a "real" journalist, you have to work for a big corporation. Maybe you need a slew of staff behind you like editors and copywriters and editorial assistants. Or maybe you just have to publish. But even here we find problems. Does publishing mean print and therefore anything scribed on the Web does not count? Some people feel that way, but TV and radio news folk count as journalists and they don't print anything. |
It's funny how some of us define things. According to laws still on the books one drop of black blood makes you black. By this definition white descendants of Thomas Jefferson can arguably claim minority-based college aid based on his relationship with Sally Hemming. Few have attempted to change such laws because that would require someone to come up with a new definition of what constitutes an African American. Exactly how many drops of blood should it be?
