Kevin Sites and the Blogging Controversy - Von der CNN-Zensur
Mit der Schliessung des Weblogs "Kevin Sites" durch CNN ist die Diskussion über "Bloggen als Form des Journalismus" wieder entbrannt:
Susan Mernit schreibt dazu bei www.ojr.org:
CNN war correspondent was told to shut down his popular site, touching off an ongoing debate on blogging as a legitimate form of journalism.
Are Weblogs one more tool in the arsenal used by online journalists to report the news? Or does a blog’s typically individualistic voice and unfiltered attitude place it outside the journalist’s palette? These rhetorical questions have exploded into a raging debate among online journalism watchers following CNN’s decision to force war correspondent Kevin Sites to stop posting items to the popular blog he created while on assignment in northern Iraq.
To blog or not to blog? The controversy has helped blogs jump up on the public’s radar screen, but it has also divided the working press into separate and distinct camps.
Some big media companies -- notably MSNBC, Fox News, Knight-Ridder and Advance Publications -- believe that blogs are a new and exciting form of journalism. These companies are actively bringing new blogs by reporters and columnists onto their Web sites.
Other companies, including AOL Time Warner properties CNN and Time magazine, Tribune Media Company, Gannett and The New York Times, are not embracing blogging as a useful form of journalism.
