Fewer journalists, more professionals.

For the past couple of years, journalism trade publications have been filled with hand-wringing, who-is-a-journalist essays, which invariably call upon traditional journalists to do a better job of distinguishing themselves from their less credible counterparts in the non-traditional media. But their prescriptions rarely go far enough, in part because they address the wrong question.

Instead of asking "Who is a journalist?" they should be asking "Who is a professional?"

They're talking about photojournalism, but the point applies throughout the journalism field.
