Is Blogging Journalism?

An anonymous reader writes "In the wake of the judge's refusal to extend journalist protections to Think Secret in its case against Apple, the Net is abuzz with commentaries coming to its defense. MacInTouch points to three of them, from CNET's Declan McCullagh, MP3 Newswire's Richard Menta and grassroots journalism pundit Dan Gillmor. All agree that Apple went too far with its case and question the court's decision that Web journalists don't count."

    What if someone violated Apple's NDA and reported on Apple employing slave labor to clean floors at company headquarters? In your world, karmaflux, the NDA violator would be in the wrong, get punished, and the slaves would still be slaves.
