ORIGINAL ENTRY FROM NANCY
Can blogs earn a living for journalists? For journalist, what we do with
whatever we write is to help generate public opinion and positive reaction.
I think the issue of making a living from blog can only depend on the number
of readership one has made, such traffic can bring about adverts on your
blogs. So the issue write well.

THEN KWAMI WENT THROUGH THE EDITING STEPS 1- 7 ABOVE and added this

Kwami : Yes, though Journalists can make a living through blogging, I
believe it would take some time before this becomes a reality.
