As Genovesa Overholster (journalism professor) recently said: Asking who is a journalist is not a useful question. It is better to ask whether a piece of writing is journalism (does it follow journalistic norms?). Some of my work is journalism and some isn't.

my reasoning for the questions, was that of a gauge.
Since you mentioned and used the term "Porn Journalist" I was curious to know who you applied that label to.
Until it was posted on the Wicked Website, I never referred to myself as such and still feel slightly uncomfortable with said title.
That's why I asked. based on who you call a Porn Journalist, may justify the title when applied to myself.
Realistically, I know My site is fluffy, but that is the way I like it.
I want it to be a fun romp and not all hard hitting.
but I see other people's sites as well and if they are considered porn journalist, then maybe I should be more comfortable with the title

IMO, anyone who writes about news for a living can call themself a journalist. There is no formal criteria. Whether you have a degree or not is irrelevant. Many of the world's best journalists don't. So don't sweat it.

would that fall under the "neither here nor there" category?
i say that because it's pretty subjective to the person.
what may be of interest (news) to some may not be to others.
how can you qualify it? that would then bring into question, an art journalist? a sports journalist? valid? legitimate? based on what?
...i don't give a shit about sports, would I then correct in not acknowledging a sports journalist in being legitimist?
I don't think you can just broadly question what is or isn't news...
from dictionary.com:
news
1.
1. Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by newspapers, periodicals, radio, or television.
2. A presentation of such information, as in a newspaper or on a newscast.
2. New information of any kind: The requirement was news to him.
3. Newsworthy material: “a public figure on a scale unimaginable in America; whatever he did was news†(James Atlas).
definition 1.1 would validate reporting, as it were, on the porn industry. For example Does Nikki leaving JKP qualify as news? I say yes.
hence, I report the news and break stories (not to suck my own dick, but in the last year, i have been on the ball) so I think I qualify as a porn journalist.
my only qualm, was "am I in league to justify calling myself that?" but then I see some cats flippantly wearing the title but, IN MY OPINION, don't really back it up.
I just didn't wanna be one of those cats.
