Well, it isn't about the difference between a journalist and a contributor...
More so a reporter and a contributor...
Because whether you are a contributor or have an official staff title - if you are, in some form or fashion, writing or reporting for a newspaper, magazine, news station, radio station, etc. etc....you are a journalist...
Being a contributor, however - well, as far as I've ever known it....means that you might not have an official role with the company/publication in question, but you do contribute something to it - be it an article or story or whatever else is the case....
Being a staff reporter means that you are actually on the staff...and unlike being a contributor, you are more than likely being paid....
As a contributor, you are probably not getting paid, but are instead receiving the good journalism experience and way to build up your clips and portfolio....all the while doing your part in helping continue the progression of the publication/company.
Make sense?
Hope so...

There is no difference.
Please ignore my thumbs-down stalker, who has serious problems.
