Blogging Guidebook
June 15, 2005
EFF -- The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published the most recent
version of its free Legal Guide for Bloggers. It includes sections on reporter's privilege, media access, and libel-- as well as other relevant thorny legal issues. Some of the advice needs to be localised for Irishblogs.
Those involved in citizen journalism should read this guide. It needs to be revised to fit the Irish context. The EFF's advice relates to blogging, online newsrooms and community information networks.
