Bloggers be journalists, journalists be bloggers

I'm writing a mini-series of features for the excellent journalism.co.uk site. Each article will focus on a journalist who blogs. Among the journalists I'm thinking of featuring are a couple who started out as bloggers. I hope they'll be up for interviews in the series. So, how does this tie in with ScooptWords? Well... I was, in part, asked to write this series because of one of my blogs, along with my passion for blogs/blogging and last, and probably least, because I'm a journalist. This goes for other commissions I've had. In a later post I intend to highlight the amount of work I have been asked to do because of my blog. This experience, which is far from unique among bloggers, helped us understand that if we aggregated, packaged and promoted good quality blog writing to editors we would find a warm welcome at enough publications to make it work.
