He used to be one, but now he's an internet journalist. He gets paid by ESPN. How is he any different from Bill Simmons, or any other ESPN writer (Jayson Starks, Peter Gammon)?<BR/><BR/>And what about newspaper reporters who "blog"? Are they really bloggers? Is Dan Steinberg really a "blogger"?<BR/><BR/>Time to create new words to express the differences. Sorry, but a blogger writing from home, not getting paid by a media outlet, is an independent writer. He's not the same as someone who has corporate ties. Not all bloggers are alike.stopmikelupicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248912216436816915noreply@blogger.com
