Northwestern University psychologist comes under fire for research on transgender women and is hounded online by critics.
The U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer, Wired News has learned. The directive, issued April 19, is the sharpest restriction on troops' online activities since the start of the Iraq war. And it could mean the end of military blogs, observers say.
"High-profile figures in high-tech are proposing a blogger code of conduct to clean up the quality of online discourse."
"Josh Wolf, a 24-year-old blogger, has spent more than six months behind bars in California -- the longest contempt-of-court term ever served by someone in the media"
"Over the past months, I've heard several journalists make the same comment at various industry forums: That blogs are a "parasitic" medium that wouldn't be able to exist without the reporting done at newspapers.
"I had to laugh hysterically (and groan) today when someone described a blogger as 'world-reknown expert on WordPress'. The blogger had been blogging for 4 months. I know personally that they had no PHP, WordPress, or web design experience prior to beginning blogging. Now that they have the title 'expert', there is no telling who will believe that claim."
"With big corporations now hiring public relations firms to pay fake bloggers to plant favorable opinions of the businesses online, many political bloggers are concerned that candidates, too, will hire people to pretend to be grass-roots citizens expressing views."
"Jim Zumbo, former hunting editor of Time Inc.’s Outdoor Life, had to resign after calling assault rifles “terrorist rifles†in a blog posting on the magazine’s website. This raises the question: how subjective can writers really be on blogs?"
