What does a real journalist look like anyway? On the flip side, there is a lesson to be learned here by bloggers, too. If you want to be taken seriously, you probably ought to look serious.

When people don't know you, they base their opinion on how you look. May not be right, but it is the way it is. If you don’t “look” like a journalist then you can be charged with harrassment?

I think bloggers will start organizing themselves and start pushing for recognition. I also think more groups will spring up to work for the rights of bloggers.
