I exchanged a few ideas on this topic yesterday on Facebook. Here are my thoughts:
Defining a "legitimate" press organization these days is pretty much a matter of opinion. Does one really think that organizations that are more pundit than press are legit? For example, I love your blog but would not consider it an outlet of the press.
...
Guess I associate "the press" with journalism and journalists and not pundits.
Not saying that blogs and FB are not good sources of opinion but, I may be wrong, I don't see them as "the press". Yet I think that it is all covered under free speech.
So how would you answer the question? What do you think of as "The Press"?

Your question begs the question, "Is there really a press anymore?" Everyone has an opinion, though. I despair of sorting the wheat from the chaff, the truth from the "alt truth."
