Interesting stuff I saw online from Oct. 11 to Oct. 16
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Oct. 11 through Oct. 16:
- Alton Telegraph fights subpoena over Web posters' identities – Metro-east news – Belleville News Democrat – "The newspaper argues in its motion that Web site posters are protected sources because 'in the digital age a newspaper or reporter receiving information in this fashion is no different from anonymous tips provided to newspaper reporters telephonically or in written form.'"
- Blogging journalists: pt.2: Blogs and news ideas: “The canary in the mine” | Online Journalism Blog – "For blogging journalists, blogs have disrupted the traditional processes of journalism in a number of ways. Respondents spoke of a clearer perception of audience needs and interests as a result of comments and visitor statistics, which in turn fed into the choice of topics and angles to cover."
- How Much Do Top Tier Bloggers and Social Media Consultants Get Paid? We Asked Them! – From ReadWriteWeb: "We asked 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants to tell us how much they get paid, by the post, by the hour or by the month – however their rates are set. Half of them told us, on the condition that we wouldn't disclose who they were or where they worked. "
- Oregon Shield Law Protects Anonymous Commenter from Citizen Media Law Project – "According to the Portland Mercury, staff writer Amy Ruiz wrote a post in January 2008 about Portland mayoral candidate Sho Dozono. In the comments section, a site user going by "Ronald" posted negative comments about Dozono's ties to a local businessman, Terry Beard. The same commenter allegedly posted similar statements on the Willamette Week site. Beard filed a motion to compel the two online newspapers to give up "Ronald's" IP address before an Oregon state court. The two competitors teamed up to oppose the discovery request and won. "
