Are blogs journalism?

Yes, the question itself is deceptive since some blogs are journalistic and others aren't. For an example of the former (and a great discussion today of "citizen journalism"), see Jay Rosen's blog, PressThink.  He offers both his own and others' definitions and links to several thoughtful discussions of citizen journalism. I believe in Kovach and Rosensteil's definition of journalism of verification (from Elements of Journalism), and this post certainly fills that bill.
