A journalist is someone with a degree in journalism.
No. You won't find that definition anywhere. Virtually everyone would agree with the Random House Unabridged definition: "a person who practices the occupation or profession of journalism."
People may or may not think of Luke as a good journalist but that doesn't change things.
Without getting picky, websters dictionary defines journalist as "one who writes for a newspaper or periodical"
But either way , any journalist at least attempts to verify facts.
journalism, according to websters is "the writing and editing of NEWS items. Luke is a gossip columnist first and a sometimes journalist.
One measure of journalism would be if Luke has ever printend a retraction of anything that later turned out to be not true, like when he "reported" that a second generation male on the q-list last year was positive. After that proved to be false, there was never a retraction. A journalist would surely have set the record straight. Or was that gene ross who reported that. If it wasnt you luke, i apologize. Or did you just reprint the story from another site, without checking the facts.
But we love luke for what he is, an entertainer. And he is good at that.
