So, if you write for a small local paper, you're not a journalist?

If there's a qualitative difference, it may be that anyone can access something published by a journalist, if they pay for it. Whereas you can't buy the video feed from an Army UAV.

But if a spy sells secrets to anyone who'll pay for them, is he/she a journalist? :)

Actually the Army UAV's publish their video steams unencrypted and make them accessible to a broad public who has a video receiver.

So they're not spy planes; they're journalist planes!
