Great article... Unfortunately, that probably means that we should all
start having people fill out forms to verify their consent of being on
our videoblogs (for those of us who make non-personal vlogs, under the
judge's definition of journalism). Great... MORE work!

You should be doing that anyway if it's not a public place, event, or
if the people present are identifiable.

There was a case in Seattle a few years ago (it settled recently), in
which a freelance journalist reported and exposed his apartment
building management's discriminatory practices. As a result, he was
shunned and threatened with losing his apartment. The case went to the
courts, where the judge decided that, because he didn't have a
contract with an editor, he wasn't acting as a journalist. It was an
absurd decision, obviously catering to the people with money
(preserving the status quo, etc.), and probably also partially based
on the fact that the journalist in question is kind of an annoying
git, on a personal level. But nonetheless, that was the decision. The
journalist appealed-- the last I heard, he won on his appeal, but it
took 10 years and a complete shift in the idea of journalism in
order to get there.

And that is why reality television is not reality at all. I
interviewed a couple of people from a Canadian reality programme
(which I will not name in order not to expose them) but I found out
that the parts that I was most captivated by where the parts the
producer orchestrated to make it more interesting. It seems like
without these fabricated situations, the show would have been even
more mundane than watching the log channel...

Yeah-- reality TV is by its nature as orchestrated as anything else,
it's just that the producers don't actually hand you a line-for-line
script in advance.

Sometimes they do. A friend of mine in LA has been on several of these shitty third wheel or blind date type shows where they basically make fun of both the contestants. Before filming, they handed him a script, told him about his background as a karate master and explained that he should be distressed because his girlfriend just died.
