Journalist are people who actually go out into the world and experience issues face to face. They report on actual facts that they have gathered, therefore the facts are from a primary source and share with readers who are not able to be in the front line of these stories. Journalist aim to show every angle of a story, where as bloggers mainly post about their own opinion; which is not a bad thing at all.
In my opinion, a blogger that post serious, unbiased stories and have correct information and sources is a journalist. I have my own Tumblr blog http://blackfluorescentink.tumblr.com/ and I mainly post about music, fashion and poetry. I would never title myself a journalist, I'm not experience enough and most of my facts are from other bloggers, websites or even from twitter. In my case I would consider myself a blogger.
However, in the media industry a blogger would become a journalist when they have actually gained a degree in journalism and is employed by a media outlet.
