I like it alot.

Actually there is no any problem that a person must journalist . Even some persons are blogging just as hobby and other as full time blogging profession .But both way we get somthing new and wonderfull .

Seriously, what’s an A-List Blogger? Robert Scoble? Whomever shows up in Valleywag? I can’t figure it out.

I can’t answer the larger question here. I would like to point out that James and Kevin probably show more journalistic tendencies than others. After all, both of you write for publications that portend to hold such standards high. That would have an effect on your writing style and your concerns about accuracy. I don’t know when one would cross from “blogger” to “journalist,” however.

All I know is my Dallas Morning News and Wall Street Journal are piling up in the recycling box, but I ALWAYS catch the latest post on JKOTR and the comments too. So, you are different and that’s a good thing!

I tend see to the opposite with this site. I value more their opinion than just boring information. If all I wanted was recycled links of product news, I’d go to Mobility Site.
James and Kevin aren’t afraid to express their opinion whether it’s popular or not. They’ve been doing this long enough where integrity is not in question. Plus, they seem like cool dudes.

Dude, you seem to be a journalist. A journalist respond to the responsability, that the words put out.

Surely, a blogger can do that too, but a blogger doesn’t need to.

You always seem to put information above opinion, and that’s important. I don’t really care, what some guy thinks. But I like to be informed.

If it’s youre highest goal to inform the public in a objective way, then you’re a journalist in the works. If you write stuff on the internet to put your opinions forward, you’re a blogger.

That’s what I think anyway, feel free to disagree

There are two groups who respond to JK on the Run as an authoritative blog: us the readers and many of the hardware and software vendors that give you heads up, new products and programs before they are released. To me these are the two most important audiences. It doesn’t matter what MSM thinks we the readers trust you and the vendors (HTC, EverNote, HP etc) have enough sense to send you evaluation products and early betas. You are functioning as effectively as MSM without all the excess. Keep up the great work!

…or run around turning off televisions during presentations.

No.

NO!!!

(Sorry, I was assuming that your headline was asking a real question.)

Seriously though, journalists don’t do some of the silly things that bloggers do like using gerund forms to caption images and using questions as headlines.

JK.. Don’t take offense, but I do classify you as a journalist rather than an informed member of the public.

I go to sites like the BBC, CNN and JK on the Run to find news of interest in one place.
You and your contributers on the other hand have to find all the articles of interest and take the effort to bring it all together. You create the news.

Your site heralds the best of what journalism should be…You say it as it is without particular bias, and people obviously respect this sites opinions.

I think of JK on ther Run as being the Reuters of the technology world, as opposed to so many others who tend to act more like the Weather Channel.

Why are you guys so held up on this? I mean dont get me wrong but isn’t this just a hobby? James I know you work for big oil and Kevin (not sure what you do). So why even worry. As long as people visit your site that’s all that matters.

Steve: Yep I cringe every time I read/hear that term. The Bay Area stinks anyway.

James: Which A-listers are you talking about anyway?

‘A-Listers’ What a horrible expression for what is effectively a bunch of cronies located in a small part of California!

Steve.

As a reader, I’d like the author to explore multiple perspectives and provide insights without putting forth an underlying agenda. The author may remain objectively neutral (in the traditional journalistic sense), or offer personal opinion and perspective — as long as motives are transparent and full disclosure is provided.
