Everyone's a journalist

Is that guys sitting next to you on the train a journalist? What about the person two tables over from you in the coffee shop?
It seems like anyone in their right mind can be a journalist today. Am I really competing with the person crossing the street? Some consider anyone who blogs or writes to be a reporter, but giving your own opinion on a matter in the form of a blog post should not be considered journalism. (oops, not that I'm being hypocritical or anything).
This industry has done a complete turn around with the technology boom. If reporting some sort of news that occurred is considered journalism, then heck almost every tweet on twitter is a report. I think the term journalism has gotten insanely broad over the past few years. New types of journalism have formed and most people studying this field have some sort of specialty. But I am a believer that having a degree is, and very well should, get you further then not having one.
