Privacy

Well, it looks as if one segment of the Press world feels that it is not the done thing to try and discover the identity of a blogger.

I willingly concede that the sanctity of the confessional can in no way be attached to something written from a malicious standpoint or even as the outpourings of a self-appointed do gooder. I find it curious that a media arm has gone down the route of hidden cameras to establish something they would strongly resist were we to use them to discover a reporter's sources. I reckon this will run and run. Maybe a good thing as blogs develop from personal writings to become just another big business propoganda or marketing tool. I'd prefer that they remained a ma and pa sort of thing.
