Journalists' right to blog debate continues

The debate over journalists' right to blog continues, with the American Journalism Review's Barb Palser saying "news managers had better consider where they stand and find out whether their views are shared by their staffs--or risk another ugly scene."

She quotes the pair of point-counterpoint essays published by Cyberjournalist.net by online journalism commentator J.D. Lasica and University of Illinois journalism professor Eric Meyer.

"While Lasica and Meyer did a good job of addressing the specifics of the case as well as the underlying issues, much of the talk on Weblogs and discussion lists has portrayed all managers who have concerns about Weblogs as unenlightened corporate ogres, and journalists who defend their right to self-publish as petulant children. Neither is true," she says. "...Just as private Weblogs can be more or less controversial, editors' concerns about them can be more or less rational. "
