The House says Bloggers are Journalists

Ok, so the title wasn't long enough to include that not all bloggers qualify. But, here's what the Speaker's blog has to say:

The House has just passed the Free Flow of Information Act, also known as the federal shield law. The bill passed by a vote of 398-21, a margin that would easily override the veto which the White House has promised (pdf). The bill provides journalists with a qualified privilege as to sources and information, while at the same time, recognizing the need for effective law enforcement and robust national security. A blogger who regularly engages in journalistic activities – such as gathering and publishing news and information for dissemination to the public – and does so for a substantial portion of the person’s livelihood or for substantial financial gain would be covered by the shield as a journalist.

Open Congress has more information here.

Now I just need to figure out how to make "substantial" financial gains from this blog. Ideas, anyone?
