This morning I had an interesting Twitter exchange on the subject of bloggers vs. journalists. I don’t see the difference really and I don’t think you can lump people into those categories as if they’re mutually exclusive. I think you’ll find plenty of “journalists” on mainstream media channels without credibility and you’ll also find plenty of blogging “journalists” with plenty of credibility. That exchange became the inspiration for this week’s program which features an interview with Debbie Hildreth who is the Alltech blogger here at the Symposium I’m attending. I was the Alltech blogger last year so it was easy for me to understand what Debbie is doing as a freelancer with a new gig.

Here’s Debbie doing one of her many interviews which are winding up as YouTube videos that are also being posted on their blog.

If you’re a freelance writer or photographer you might find our interview of interest. There is a world of opportunity out there and hopefully Debbie’s story will inspire you.
