Journalism Junkies Can Subscribe for Free to a New Column that Celebrates Journalists
(Vocus) June 15, 2010 -- Journalists report the news, but the vast majority of reporters and editors seldom are the subject of feature profiles themselves.
That is ironic, since many of the personal stories behind the bylines of America’s most influential journalists are every bit as intriguing as the people they cover.
Fascinating journalists and the tales of their lives and careers are the subject of a new column appearing regularly on the national edition of Examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/x-53563-Journalist-Examiner). The feature is written by Dean Rotbart, founder of NewsBios.com (http://www.newsbios.com) and a chronicler of influential global journalists for more than two decades.
Rotbart was recently named Examiner.com’s National Journalist Examiner.
Since leaving The Wall Street Journal, where he worked as an award-winning columnist, editor and investigative reporter, Rotbart has served as one of the country’s leading biographers of influential journalists.
NewsBios.com, which provides dossiers and in-depth personal background information to major corporations and public relations agencies, maintains a library of profiles on more than 7,000 active journalists and bloggers.
Rotbart’s column and his NewsBios profiles appeal to journalists, corporate communications executives, PR firm staffers, J-School professors and readers who enjoy learning about newsrooms and journalists.
To subscribe for free to all of Rotbart’s Examiner.com columns, readers can sign up at http://www.examiner.com/x-53563-Journalist-Examiner. Look for the “Subscribe” button at the top of Rotbart’s columns.
Those interested in purchasing professionally researched profiles of leading journalists can obtain samples and full details at www.newsbios.com. A sister site, www.newsbios-on-demand.com offers a limited selection of profiles available for instant purchase and download, 24/7.
Unlike ‘official’ biographies, dossiers researched by NewsBios incorporate both career and personal details that are unauthorized by the journalists and therefore paint a full, unvarnished portrait of the target reporters and editors.

Are Bloggers Journalists?
One of the common arguments among the "traditional media" (aka journalists) is whether or not Bloggers can be counted as journalists and whether the work they do is worth as much to the masses as the work that traditional journalists do for television networks and newspapers. Many of the traditionalists insist that there is no way that a Blogger will ever be regarded with the same respect as a journalist. Others say that there is no reason that the work completed by a Blogger, if done correctly, cannot be just as noteworthy as traditional newsgathering sources.
Bloggers first came on the scene around five-six years ago and many Bloggers today insist that they are the "watch dogs" that keep that traditional journalism ...
