I've never read the creed, so thanks for pointing me there. On my site I categorize Opinion, or Audio/Video, depending on the content. For me as a podcaster (neither blogger or journalist), being genuine has been the overwhelming characteristic; that's what brings my listeners back.

Amy, as a former journalist myself, with over 5,000 published photographs and 40 or so magazine articles, and having taught journalism at the university level, I am qualified to say that what you do is journalism. You cover stories of local interest to a focused community that are not covered by larger media due to their space and manpower constraints. Your coverage ranges from social and sports, to business, to hard news and community reporting, just as a print paper, or a radio station. And let's not forget that a community publication of one of the world's major papers has partnered with you. (What I do here is also a type of journalism - I offer common sense commentary, according to me - and sometimes I rant.) KFI for that matter, while entertaining to listen to certainly has their share of ranters and raving lunatics. They consider anybody who isn't part of "Clear Channel's" conservative agenda to be a left wing dunderhead. Journalism and media is evolving and you are on the bleeding edge, so stick to your guns and keep a thick skin, KFI will catch up eventually.

I enjoy your rant/rave comments, but I also get why "serious" journalists might say it doesn't work for you. Maybe it would be good to have a more prominent editorial area, as opposed to just comments. Maybe you could add a bi-weekly editorial column of some sort, and then, in addition to the rants/raves, you could satisfy those who are more accustomed to editorial comment. There have been times I would wish to give more than a comment, and also think I would wish my comments not be categorized as a either a rant or a rave.

I enjoy your Rants & Raves. It makes this feel much more personal and very informative about The Village. Something else, I really love the daily sunset photos. It's as if you're reminding me (Yes, just me!) to take a moment and remember where we are, how lucky we are and that there is always beauty in life. Keep on being a journalist. It's how I've always felt about this site.

Hey! Your content and professionalism proves you are a journalist in every sense. Your Rants and Raves proves you're also human, for which we all are thankful. Don't let the knuckleheads on KFI get you down. John and Ken just got suspended for a week for insensitive stuff they said about Whitney Houston...
