Journalist or not? Wrong question

In the big debate about whether or not bloggers are 'journalists', Dave Winer nails it. "All the people participating in the 'journalist or not' debate are insiders. They are all compromised. Whether or not they disclose some of these conflicts, none of them disclose the ones that are central to what they will and will not say." Does the same analogy and argument carry over to educators? Not cleanly. But there's definitely a sense of those who are 'inside' (executives, VPs, corporate honchos, marketers) and those who are not. Be wary where you get your news and information about education and ed tech (along with most other things).
